NASCAR says the car lost a piece of tungsten during a Friday practice, resulting in a violation for failure to properly attach weight.

Crew chief Scott Eggleston was suspended for one race and fined $25,000. Car chief Kevin Eagle was suspended for one race. Both were placed on probation through the rest of the year.

Team owner Mike Curb was docked 15 championship points in the car owner standings.

Timmy Hill drove the No. 98 car in last Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series race, the Crown Royal Presents the Jeff Kyle 400.
