Penalties Handed Out for Flying Wrench Debacle at Martinsville

Remember that flying wrench last weekend at Martinsville, when the truth about how Kevin Harvick and Richard Childress feel about each other came out?

Well, it ain't cool to throw wrenches at people folks.  Yes, I know.  Common sense dictates such things, but in the heat of the moment in sporting events, you need your opinion expressed in the most vocal of fashions.  And in this case, the point was being made with what was at hand... a very large wrench.

NASCAR apparently did not take lightly to the pit stall equipment flight pattern and has dealt out some penalties in association with the flying metal:
