about Dale Earnhardt Jr. Why did he(or his crew chief) not get fined for jumping on top of his car as Jeremy Mayfield(his crew chief got fined) did for jumping on his car roof after winning at California. Plain and Simple: I do not know. On Monday’s RPM 2Night (ESPN2), Benny Parsons was asked the same question and said that the drivers did not like that fine that Mayfield’s team got and that they should be allowed to celebrate. I am not looking to speculate on this, feel free to email NASCAR at NASCAR Online UPDATE: The deal is Mayfield didn’t get fined for dancing on the roof. NASCAR stated the fine was because the roof did not conform to one or more templates. Mayfield made a dent while dancing on the roof, but we hear that was removed, the roof restored to it’s previous contour, then checked. Apparently Jr. didn’t make any dents, and/or his car passed the template checks(Speedway Illustrated)(5-11-2000)
