Helton: NASCAR ups ante on penalties:

Addressing the Busch Series drivers and crew chiefs Saturday morning, NASCAR President Mike Helton warned them that the recent six-week suspensions handed out by the sanctioning body could become the norm. The penalties, including one to the team of Busch Series point leader Kevin Harvick, were issued for violations last week at Daytona. Suspensions for similar penalties in the past have ranged from two to four weeks.(SceneDaily.com)(7-8-2006)
