Question NASCAR Rule Enforcement



I have just been over on the NASCAR site and if I read it right they sure have different rule enforcement for the same things. Robby Gordon was docked 100 points, his crew chief fined $100K and suspended for 6 races because they brought a car with a nose on it that NASCAR hasn't approved yet. But they never ran that car as they changedto the approved nose BEFORE they even qualified. Over in the Truck Series, Bodine had some rules infractions, one of which was lowering the bed height to gain speed and he ran the race and won. So they docked him25 points and fined his crew chief $10K.
If, and that is a big IF, I read this right, one guy gets really nailed for something that he did before the qualifying and had a legal car for qualifying and the race. Another qualifies and runs his truck in the race and wins and gets a slap on the wrist. I must have missed something as this is just way far off even for NASCAR and their inconsistent rule enforcing.
