Ricky Stenhouse Penalized For Start Of Auto Club 400
5 years agoBoth JTG Daugherty Racing teams of the No. 47 driven by Ricky Stenhouse, and No. 37 driven by Chris Buescher, have been issued penalties for Sunday's race. Both cars will be forced to start the race from the rear of the field, and have had their crew chiefs ejected from the speedway. The penalties were for illegal body modifications. This is particularly bad news for those fantasy owners who were planning to start Ricky Stenhouse, who was slated to start the race in 10th position. Losing a lot of track position at a speedway that usually lends itself to long green-flag runs will certainly be a challenge for both teams, and because of this news, most owners should reconsider starting Stenhouse. Buescher was already seen as a low-value fantasy pick for Sunday, and this penalty certainly doesn't help that value.
