Unapproved bolts cost Kenseth 25 Busch points

Hmmm.... I still don't understand why JJ big brows wasn't docked points when Kenseth's Busch team gets docked points for unapproved lugnuts. Oh well, he still won the Cup Race!!!

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Tuesday that four penalties have been issued to two Busch Series teams, as a result of rules violations this past weekend at California Speedway.

Three penalties were assessed to the No. 17 Ford team for violations of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing), 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment that do not conform to NASCAR rules), and 20A-12.1B (2) (unapproved rear jacking bolts, incorrect thread count) of the 2006 Busch Series Rule Book.

Crew chief Chad Norris was fined $10,000; driver Matt Kenseth was penalized with the loss of 25 driver championship points; and car owner Jack Roush was penalized 25 owner championship points. These rules violations were discovered during opening day inspection.
