| short version..
LAS VEGAS (AP)—The celebration of Carl Edwards’ second consecutive victory was short-lived: His winning Ford Fusion failed a post-race inspection at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that could lead to severe penalties for his team.
NASCAR officials discovered the lid was not on the oil tank box of his race-winning car and the parts are going back to North Carolina for further inspection.
Just last month, five Nationwide Series crew chiefs were suspended for six races, fined $15,000 each and their drivers were docked 25 points apiece because their lids were simply loose.

| Then 30K and 50 points would be fair. | |

| Seems to me it has to be at least 100 points or Nascar needs to let Robby Gordon win his appeal. | |

| Edwards was lucky they didn't penalize him for the second tire offense yesterday to. That could have cost him the race.

| the others got 15k and 25 points because their lids were loose, but still on. Edwards' was nowhere to be found.

| I saw this on SportsCenter last night. I say they'll go with a 100 point penalty, if it was Robby Gordon they would go with a lifetime ban because he's Robby Gordon. | |
