The No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series was penalized Wednesday for lug nuts not properly installed in last weekend’s race at Sonoma Raceway.

Per the penalty, crew chief Ben Beshore was fined $20,000 and suspended for one race.

Kyle Busch finished fifth in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 in the No. 18 Toyota, working with a team that already had been utilizing an interim crew chief, Ben Beshore. Who was a replacement for Adam Stevens.

Stevens is due to serve the final race of a four-race suspension Saturday in Daytona, a penalty incurred for an errant wheel during the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ June 4 event at Dover International Speedway.
