INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Tony George's Infiniti Pro Series team lost 16 points and was fined an undisclosed amount by league officials on Wednesday for violating series rules.

George is the founder of the IRL, and the pro series is a developmental circuit for the league.

Vision Racing was punished after a post-race inspection last weekend revealed that the No. 20 car, driven by Jay Drake, had violated a rule on exhaust systems. It requires each car to use the equipment as provided by the chassis manufacturer. League officials would not elaborate on the violation.

Drake finished fourth in Saturday's Bluegrass 100 at Kentucky Motor Speedway despite engine problems. Drake was sixth in the points chase after Saturday's race.

George's team can still appeal the decision. If the penalty is not changed, Drake could slip to eighth in the standings.

In a Menard-sponsored series, no less. Oh, the irony.

Maybe FTG should have Barry Green present his appeal. :gomer:

Yeah, and afterwards Barry will help promote another street race for him.

Could be rather entertaining, FTG appealling the penalty to himself. Wonder who will win. :laugh:

FTG: "You're out of order..."

TG: "No! You're out of order! This whole court is out of order!"

Knowing how much control he thinks he needs, I can see him over turning the penalty, but fining himself $25,000 so he can keep the series running for a couple more hours! ;) :D

I see!

If I weren't such a conspiracy theorist I would suggest that IMS/Indy/clabber/coke finances go through the IMS accountants one end and come out as party hats and whistles the other ;)
