NASCAR WILL DISQUALIFY WINNERS WHO FAIL INSPECTION IN 2019

League officials have grown tired of post-race infractions dominating the news cycle

FEBRUARY 4, 2019

 

In a major sea change for major league stock car racing, NASCAR will begin disqualifying drivers who fail certain high-profile elements of post-race technical inspection across all three national tours starting in 2019 The exact details will not be revealed until Wednesday but there will be three tiers of post-race penalties and the highest will result in an immediate forfeiture of a finishing position, earnings and points.

In conjunction, NASCAR will now conduct post-race inspection live at the track, immediately after the race, instead of at the sanctioning body's R&D Center outside of Charlotte, North Carolina.

"We’re changing the culture," said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer.

"Our industry understands the need to focus on what happens on the racetrack. We cannot allow inspection and penalties to continue to be a prolonged storyline. Race vehicles are expected to adhere to the rule book from the opening of the garage to the checkered flag."

Beginning at Daytona Speedweeks, NASCAR will inspect the first- and second-place cars, plus a random finisher after each event. Any car that fails to the highest degree of the rule book with be stripped of points earned during the event, save for the single point accumulated for finishing 40th, and will not be credited for the position in which it crossed the line.

If that applies to the flagged winner, that driver will be stripped of the win and all bonuses associated with the achievement, and will be credited with finishing 40th.

O'Donnell stated on Monday during the annual R&D briefing with the media that a single loose lug nut would not be among the penalties that warrant a disqualification, but three would. NASCAR has suggested that any other technical violation would warrant a disqualification.

The entire post-race inspection process, spearheaded by new series director Jay Fabian, will take around 90 minutes. Due to the sealed engine rules introduced last season, engines will not undergo a teardown at the track. Thus, any engine penalties will come at a later date.

This represents a philosophical shift from the sanctioning body, which has for decades said that fans should know who the winner of the race is upon leaving the track. Instead, NASCAR has conducted a minimal inspection and taken top finishers back to the R&D Center for a complete teardown.

Occasionally, NASCAR would find infractions that warranted stripping winners of points earned and win bonuses, such an automatic advancement into the playoffs or the next round of the playoffs.

But NASCAR believes the penalties did not adequately prevent teams from pushing the limits of the rule book. This is something that the sanctioning body believes should discourage a culture of cheating.

"It's simple: If you're not compliant with the rules, you're not the winner of the race," O'Donnell said.

In addition to the disqualification policy, NASCAR will also increase penalties for all failed inspections across the entire race weekend. NASCAR will now assess L1 penalties for unloading a car with an illegal part, meaning the loss of points and crew member suspensions.

The Cup Series has not seen a post-race disqualification since 1960 when Emanuel Zervakis was tossed for an oversized fuel cell, the decision handing the win to Joe Weatherly.
