CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR has levied a heavy fine against Kevin Harvick for alleged modifications found on his Ford at Talladega Superspeedway. Harvick has been one of the most outspoken drivers about safety concerns on the Next Gen car. NASCAR docked both Harvick and Stewart-Haas Racing 100 points each, fined crew chief Rodney Childers $100,000 and suspended Childers for the next four races. NASCAR said the penalties were for “modification of a single source supplied part.”
