Late cylinder head change costs Roush

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR penalized one of Roush
Racing's truck series teams Tuesday for using illegal engine parts
in rookie Carl Edwards' first career victory.

Crew chief Doug Richert was assessed $25,000 for using
unapproved cylinder heads in Edwards' Ford when it won last weekend
at Kentucky Speedway.

Edwards was stripped of 100 driver points and Jack Roush was
docked 100 owner points.

The engine was changed before the race, and Roush Racing
acknowledged that the replacement motor did indeed have
non-conforming parts but was not expected to be used in
competition.
