ARCA announced penalties for two teams following Watkins Glen International on September 13th.
Connor Zilisch’s winning No. 28 Chevrolet was found in violation of 20C-12.8.1A of the 2024 ARCA rulebook. As a result of violating roof heights, crew chief Shane Huffman has been fined $1,000 and placed on probation for the rest of the 2024 season. Zilisch and car owner Mark Webb have been docked six championship points, including applicable special awards points.
Cook Racing’s No. 42 Chevrolet was also found with the same violation post-race. Crew Chief Amber Slagle has been fined $1,000 and placed on probation for the rest of the season. Driver Brandon Jones and owner Bruce Cook have also been penalized six championship points.
The section of the cited penalty reads:
Body Height Requirements:
A. All vehicles competing must maintain a minimum roof height of 54 inches and a maximum roof height of 55-1/2 inches. The vehicle height off the ground and the body height, including the rake or the degrees of body angle, shall be determined by measuring the overall height of the vehicle at the divot on the roof centerline. After competition, the minimum roof height permitted will be 53-3/4 inches and a maximum roof height of 55-3/4 inches.
