NASCAR has fined Pete Rondeau, crew chief on the #8 Chevrolet driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr., $10,000 for an unapproved third gear transmission ratio. The violation was discovered during inspection prior to the Budweiser Shootout. The #8 was in violation of Section 12-4-A and 12-4-CC (unapproved rear end gear or transmission gear ratio).
Recommendation: In DEI's quest for more horsepower during Speed Weeks, it appears that Pete Rondeau may have gotten a little creative. NASCAR busted the #8 team's crew chief. Earnhardt was fortunate that this penalty had no championship points attached to it.
