Kahne and Evernham to be fined

UPDATE This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today. See Hot News item on NASCAR cheaters. 06/20/05 Kasey Kahne is waiting to hear what sort of penalties NASCAR will impose on his No. 9 team after officials confiscated an unapproved air dam from his car this weekend in Michigan. NASCAR says the part, an adjustable spring-loaded air dam, was found during Friday's pre-qualifying inspection. Vice president for corporate communications Jim Hunter says the part never made it onto the track. "A penalty will be forthcoming – I don't know what," said Hunter. "The rulebook says it cannot be adjusted, so it did not conform to our rules." Kahne, who qualified fourth, finished 18th in Sunday's race. He and the team face a loss of points and fines.
