NASCAR announced today penalties and revised finish to this past weekend’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event due to rules violations discovered during post-race technical inspection.

The unofficial results of Friday’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at Stafford (Conn.) Speedway have been revised due to rules violations discovered on the fifth-place car – the No. 19 driven by Jimmy Blewett.

The No. 19 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); and 20D-5.10.1B(2) (Altered carburetor booster passages) of the 2008 NASCAR rule book. The violations were discovered during post race inspection on May 23.

The violations dropped Blewett to 31st in the official race finish. All other drivers in the event moved up one position in the official finishing order. Tom Grasso, crew chief of the No. 19 team has been placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31, 2008.
