In spite of not having the funding that many teams in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series, Regan Smith's Furniture Row team has done as good if not better than their competition. Smith himself has yet to receive an in-race penalty from NASCAR while his pit crew has only failed him one time this season with a penalty.

Most Penalized Drivers (After 27 Races)

Other than Clint Bowyer and Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman is the only full-time Sprint Cup driver who has not earned a penalty this season. Like Bowyer and Edwards' race teams, Newman's pit crew has yet to make a mistake that would earn them a penalty.

Race 27 - Geico 400 Penalties

Going into the rain delayed Geico 400, Jeff Gordon was among the favorites of many folks. Unfortunately for Gordon and his Dupont team, he was never competitive and ended up running out of fuel on the last lap. Because he sped in the pits to try to get refueled, NASCAR penalized him one lap giving Gordon a lackluster 24th place finish on the day.

Penalty Report - Chicago:

Car#, Lap, Reason, Penalty
#7 Robby Gordon, Pre-Race to the rear, Engine
#30 David Stremme, Pre-Race to the rear, Missed Driver Intros
#4 Kasey Kahne, 72, Speed-Exiting pits, Tail of Field
#4 Kasey Kahne, 72, Pitting out of order, Tail of Field
#00 David Reutimann, 146, Pitting out of order, Tail of Field
#1 Jamie McMurray, 164, Pitting before pit road is open, Garage
#51 Landon Cassill, 164, Pitting before pit road is open, Tail of Field
#36 Dave Blaney, 165, Pitting out of order, Tail of Field
#42 Juan Pablo Montoya, 166, Lug nut(s) not installed, Must Come In
#38 J.J. Yeley, 205, Pitting out of order, Tail of Field
#34 David Gilliland, 265, Speed-Entering pits, Was at the end of race & 1 lap taken away
#24 Jeff Gordon, 267, Speed-Entering pits, Happened at end of race- 1 lap was taken away

It was a long night for Martin Truex, Jr. and his Napa team Saturday night at Richmond. Truex was caught up in the big wreck early on in the event and spent the rest of the night battling his battered race car. The incident forced Truex to make multiple stops under caution. Three times Truex had to start at the tail end of the field due to pitting before the pits were open. Truex was also caught speeding in the pits one time.
