NASCAR has imposed heavy sanctions upon the crew for Ryan Newman's #31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet after determining that it had manipulated his tyres at Fontana earlier this month.
Series officials confiscated the tyres of several teams following the March 22 race, and a subsequent inspection found Newman's crew to be in violation of rules that bar modifications to the tyre or wheel, including the valve stem that is used to release pressure.
The infractions amounted to a P5 penalty - the second-most severe category of breach under NASCAR's six-tier system.
Newman's crew chief Luke Lambert was fined $125,000 and suspended from the next six events, and placed on probation until the end of the year.
Tyre technician James Bender and engineer Philip Surgen received the same suspension and probation period.
In addition, Newman and Childress were docked 75 driver and owner points respectively.
"NASCAR takes very seriously its responsibility to govern and regulate the rules of the sport in order to ensure competitive balance," said Steve O'Donnell, the series' executive vice president and chief racing development officer.
"We've been very clear that any modifications to race vehicle tyres is an unacceptable practice and will not be tolerated."
