Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bank Of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway proved to be a penalty-laden affair.  Prior to the drop of the green flag, six drivers had to start at the rear of the 43-car starting field due to engine or transmission changes.  The 334-lap event proved to be a long night for Paul Menard and the Menard's/Pittsburgh Paints Chevrolet team.  After a lap 37 spin in turn four, Menard's crew was penalized for two infractions, one for going over the wall too soon and another for too many crew members over the wall.  Later in the race, the Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing driver was caught speeding entering the pits on lap 215 resulting in a pass thru penalty.  Menard ended the race a disappointing 27th, six laps off the lead lap.

--Please note that pit crew penalties are now designated in green for better clarity to viewers.--
