Following Joe Gibbs teams servicing other Gibbs cars last weekend at Las Vegas, NASCAR responded Thursday by clarifying their stance on the legalities behind the issue.
- If a vehicle receives service in another team’s pit stall to correct a safety issue, the vehicle will receive a flag status penalty (restart tail of the field or pass-through) for the vehicle pitting outside of the assigned pit box
- Examples of safety issues
- Tighten loose wheel nuts or lug nuts,
- Remove a fuel can,
- Remove a wedge wrench,
- Remove the jack from under the vehicle,
- If a vehicle receives service in another team’s pit stall for competition adjustments, the vehicle may receive a lap(s) penalty
