WCNC is reporting that Hendrick Motorsports received the largest cumulative fine in NASCAR history for unapproved parts modifications found during inspection at Phoenix Raceway last weekend, NASCAR officials announced yesterday. All four of Hendrick’s Cup Series teams, driven by William Byron, Kyle Larson, Alex Bowman and Josh Berry, were penalized with the loss of 100 owner points, 100 driver points and 10 playoff points. The No. 9 team, driven by Berry in relief of Chase Elliott, was not penalized any driver points because Berry is ineligible for Cup Series points. Each crew chief was fined $100,000 and suspended for the next four NASCAR Cup Series races.
