Race 36 - Ford 400 Penalties

Sunday's Ford 400 wasn't the kind of day that 5-time NASCAR Cup champion, Jimmie Johnson hoped for. Besides having to give up his championship crown to eventual race winner and champion, Tony Stewart, the season finale was a struggle for the #48 Lowe's Chevrolet. Johnson struggled with carburetor problems, was involved in a spin just past the halfway point and had to serve a one-lap penalty for running the stop and go sign.

Penalty Color Key

Pink - Pre-race Penalty
Orange - Penalty For Pitting Before Pit Road Is Open/Too many crew member(s) in contact with pit service area
Red - Driver Induced Penalty
Green - Pit Crew Induced Penalty
White - Verbal Abuse Toward Official/Safety Violation

Red, green and white designated penalties are considered to be "serious" penalties as they have a more significant affect on the outcome of a driver and team's finish than pink and orange designated penalties.

Please note that NASCAR does not have different designations for penalties. The color designation is for the purpose of this website only.
