In prerace inspection they found that the mounts for the rear wing was of
an unapproved design that gave the car an unfair aero advantage. They were
removed and retained for further inspection. This was reported Saturday
and in the prerace program today the info was repeated along with
speculation that his crew chief would pick up a suspension.

IMO, there should be no penalties for pre-race infractions.

If you make it through pre-race inspections, and don't get caught in
post-race inspections, then good for you.

The only penalties that should be enforced, are in post-race
inspections.

I read the news story last night and reported it here with a link.
Today just before the race started, Greg Hammond described the infraction as
something intentionally done to gain a downforce advantage.
He said to expect to hear about penalties and possible c/c supension by
Tuesday.
Can you say bye bye Mr.Eury?...
