Not Ranked
Last November I stopped by the Nascar booth in the infield here at Texas. I asked this same question. At first I kinda got an attitude from the guy like he was tired of people *****ing. I explained to him that I was not *****ing but really trying to understand. He relaxed and told me that the Cup Series is the highest series and has the highest penalties. If they were to levy the same penalties on the lower series they could actually start to bankrupt a team for a mistake. If the lower series keep ignoring the penalties, then look for them to raise the penalties. This is what happened in Cup, the penalties were looked at like they were nothing, so they raised them.
I accept that as I do remember the same infractions getting progressively higher penalties over the course of a couple of years.
