Not the Cup series, but Burt Myers was docked 50 points after getting busted with illegal wheels before last weekend's race. Allowable width is 10" and his were almost 11". http://www2.journalnow.com/sports/2...ocked-50-points-for-wheels-violat-ar-2335288/ Two weeks in a row he's be busted. The week before it was for soaking his tires.
Also, at 3pm tomorrow the K&N Series race from Bowman Gray will be replayed.
I'm not sure if his tires were soaked the week before or not. They made the top 4 in point standings turn their tires back in and get another set off the truck. I've heard the original tires were sent to NASCAR R&D to be tested but can't confirm that. I'm pretty sure other guys have been running wide wheels but for several weeks now the officials have been taking a close look at wheels and tires. I'm not sure why Burt is the only one that still took a chance on running the wide wheels. A pretty stiff penalty for him and you don't see this happen much/at all at BGS.
