NASCAR made the official penalty announcement today for the #38 Front Row Motorsports team. Though we reported hearing about possible record penalties yesterday, the final verdict from NASCAR was not quite as severe.

Crew chief Steve Lane, car chief Richard Bourgeois and tire specialist Michael Harrold have all been suspended for 12 races. Additionally Lane was fined $100,000, and the team was docked 150 owner and driver points.

The team was found to be in violation of rule 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing), rule 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules), and rule 20-10.7J (unapproved modification to valve stem hardware).
