NASCAR penalties: Biggest fines in stock car racing history
In the world of stock car racing, crew chiefs and mechanics have always found innovative ways to make their cars faster. A recent example is the penalty given to Joey Logano for wearing webbed gloves to reduce drag during qualifying. Cheating has been a part of the sport since NASCAR’s early days in 1949, with Glenn Dunaway’s illegal rear springs. NASCAR has evolved over time, with harsher penalties introduced for violations with the Next Gen car in the 2022 season. In March 2023, penalties were issued to five Cup Series teams for unapproved modifications, highlighting the ongoing battle between innovation and rules in the racing world.
