On Monday, NASCAR announced that a pair of NASCAR Xfinity Series owners have been handed penalties for a pair of isolated infractions.

Mike Harmon - the owner of Mike Harmon Racing -- has been handed an L2 penalty for violating Section 5.1.a.c.d of the NASCAR Xfinity Series Rule Book, which references the sanctioning body's vehicle testing policy.

He'll incur a loss of 75 owner points and 75 driver championship points, to be applied in the 2022 season. NASCAR fined crew chief Ryan Bell $50,000 and suspended him from the next six championship points events, also to begin starting in 2022.

On November 15, Mike Harmon Racing posted images of a pair of NASCAR Xfinity Series cars driving around Rockingham Speedway, including the vehicle that the organization fielded at Phoenix Raceway.

 

Additionally, Caesar Bacarella, co-owner of Alpha Prime Racing, has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating Sections 12.1; 19 of the NASCAR Rule Book, in reference to the Substance Abuse Policy.

Bacarella competed in five Xfinity Series events for DGM Racing in 2020, and planned to compete part-time for Alpha Prime Racing in 2022.
