Matt Kenseth's race winning engine was too light...and NASCAR wasn't happy about it. Monster penalties for the 20 team include:
-Loss of 50 driver and owner points
-$200,000 fine for crew chief Jason Ratcliff
-6 week suspension for Jason Ratcliff
-6 week suspension for team owner Joe Gibbs' license of the 20 car (meaning Joe Gibbs can't receive owner points during suspension)
-Victory won't be recognized come Chase time (which means Kenseth loses the 3 bonus points for the win once the Chase points reset for the Championship)
-Pole Award won't be recognized, meaning Kenseth can't use it to get into the Sprint Unlimited race in 2014
NASCAR dropped the hammer. Don't mess with the engine.
