Bad Parts: Several teams were caught Thursday during inspections using altered bolts to hold their fuel cells in place. NASCAR inspectors took bolts from the teams of #1-Steve Park, #31-Mike Skinner, #9-Bill Elliott, #44-Buckshot Jones and #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr. Parts of the body from the #40 Dodge of Sterling Marlin were confiscated for “streamlining the contours of the car beyond that approved by the series director.” Part of the window which holds the netting on the driver’s side of the #10 Pontiac of Johnny Benson was confiscated because it did not conform to NASCAR rules. Parts of the engine exhaust system from Park’s #1 Chevrolet were also taken for not conforming to NASCAR rules.(That’s Racin’), no idea what the problem with the bolts are(7-6-2001)
