Kyle Busch's team likely facing NASCAR penalties after lug-nut issues
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}SONOMA, Calif. -- Joe Gibbs Racing, which has endured a winless first 16 races of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, got another setback after the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway: Kyle Buschs No. 18 JGR Toyota had two improperly attached lug nuts, according to NASCAR officials.
Customarily, thats a one-race suspension and a $20,000 fine per the NASCAR rule book.
But Buschs regular crew chief, Adam Stevens, is already serving a four-race suspension for a tire-and-wheel combination that came off the car at Dover International Speedway earlier this month.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Stevens temporary replacement, race engineer Ben Beshore, therefore would be the one hit with the suspension if it happens.
