NASCAR Twitter....... The #7 car had its NSCS qualifying time disallowed, did not pass post-qualifying heights, must start at the rear on Sunday #NASCAR

Just noticed on the ticker the car was listed last. Now I know why! Better before the race than after, though.

Failed post qualifying inspection. Car was too low. Start in the back where he would have started anyway.

BTYW, I thought Robby was in Charotte working on business. Jayski reports that Robby was racing in Utah. This was new to me. Did I miss something somewhere?

Uh oh! I hope the penalty isn't 150 driver & owner points! He'd never recover from that :-(

LMAO! That will be interesting when someone does get that type of penalty....with the new pts system...I'd say thats about 30 pts or so

Utah was earlier in the week -see this thread http://www.planetrobby.com/forum/topics/robby-at-miller-motorsports
Jayski hasn't check'd in at the Planet to find the scoop or only reads the last page posted.

@Rob,You have the correct answer.

Is there a points penalty for this qual infraction?

Mike...should be no point penalty???..I can't find anything on any driver who was ever penalized points for this...jus rear of the field start...or in the case of Vickers a few years back, went home as a GOGH car...due to this

UPDATE*** Was not a penalty in 2009:
