Greg Biffle crew chief Brian Pattie was fined $50,000 and suspended for all the activities through June 15.

AJ Allmendinger crew chief Randall Burnett and Kurt Busch crew chief Tony Gibson were both fined $20,000 and suspended for this weekend's race at Pocono for not having properly affixed lug nuts in Sunday's event at Charlotte.
