Texas penalties: Kaulig Racing crew chief Kevin Walter suspended one race for lug-nut infraction

NASCAR officials issued penalties to the Kaulig Racing No. 10 Chevrolet team, suspending its crew chief for one race after a lug-nut violation in last weekend’s event at Texas Motor Speedway.

Daniel Dye drove the No. 10 Chevy to an 11th-place result in last Saturday’s Andy’s Frozen Custard 300. The car, however, was found with two unsecured lug nuts in a post-race check by NASCAR officials.

The infraction — covered in Sections 8.8.10.4a (Tires and Wheels) in the NASCAR Rule Book — resulted in a $10,000 fine for the No. 10 team. Competition officials also suspended No. 10 crew chief Kevin Walter for one race.
