Tough Penalty for Carl Edwards Carl Edwards really suffered a tough break, after NASCAR discovered the oil cap was missing following his win Sunday in Las Vegas. His team gets a $100,000 fine (not a huge amount by NASCAR standards), loses 100 points, and his crew chief Bob Osborne will have to miss six races. But what really hurts is the loss of the ten bonus points he got after winning the Vegas race. Those are huge in the Chase, when the points for the Top 12 drivers reset at 5000. Losing 100 points is no fun, but at this point I will presume Edwards will make the Chase even without them. There's not a huge advantage to NOT having the oil cap on the car. Former champion says it could create some downforce, but that the risk of fumes getting in the cockpit would outweigh the advantages a team would gain.
