Winston Cup champion Tony Stewart’s car was impounded Friday because it didn’t meet specifications, a punishment never before handed out by NASCAR.
Stewart, known as the bad boy of the sport, was forced to use his backup car at the opening practice for Sunday’s Samsung/Radio Shack 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Forth Worth.Stewart qualified 22nd in the 43-car field.
The Joe Gibbs Racing entry failed inspection because it didn’t meet the exact specifications for “the area around the back of the car, back window to back deck,” NASCAR President Mike Helton said.
