"This particular incident was brought to our attention after the race, when we were reviewing the finishing order," NASCAR spokesperson Kerry Tharp said. "If you recall, we had to go back and look at the videotape and the scoring loops to determine the finishing order after the race ended under caution.

"It was brought to our attention then, and we reviewed the video again on Tuesday, as we normally do. We had discussions as a group and agreed that it warranted a penalty."

Nascar is just getting stupid with some of the penalties!!! They didn't see it happening live but when they go back to review the finishing order they see something? What? I guess they should start reviewing the entire race and watch every second of video to see if anybody looked at someone wrong.

The rules read black and white.

Except for the hendricks cars, where there is gray area.
