DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NASCAR fined Chad Walter, crew chief for JR Motorsports' No. 5 Chevrolet in the Nationwide Series, $10,000 for the use of improper language during the live ABC broadcast of last weekend's race at New Hampshire.
Team owner Rick Hendrick was also penalized 25 owner points for the infraction and driver Landon Cassill was docked 25 driver points.
Before this season, Hendrick Motorsports and JR Motorsports merged their Nationwide Series operations. Hendrick is listed as the owner of the No. 5, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. is listed as the owner of the No. 88.
