Busted, Busch caught with extra tires

Steve Addington calls this mistake a failure of communication. The 2 team acquired an extra set of tires from the 64 team (who are they, just joking it’s a Gunselman team) but they didn’t transfer one of their sets back to them. This is how they got above the magic six tire limit.

The penalty for the 2 team will be that they’ll lose a set of tires and they’ll also be parked for the first 15 minutes of practice. No other penalties will be accessed to them.

Fantasy Impact– Missing out on the first fifteen minutes of practice isn’t a real big deal. This shouldn’t affect his fantasy value any. There’s two practices on Saturday and the track at 9am isn’t similar to expected track conditions for the New Hampshire Sylvania 300.
