NASCAR announced late Friday that officials have confiscated the rear-end suspension parts on Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s #17 Ford Fusion after finding an issue during prequalifying inspection for Sunday’s Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said Saturday afternoon that NASCAR will take Stenhouse’s rear-end suspension back to the NASCAR Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., for further evaluation early next week. Any penalties resulting from the issue on Stenhouse’s car will likely be handed down on Tuesday ‘ two days after the season’s final race ‘ and could affect the final points standings.(FoxSports)(11-16-2014)
