NASCAR and their rules

Stewart forced to meet with NASCAR; car held: "Stewart met with officials at 7 a.m. EDT, and NASCAR did not let his Joe Gibbs Racing team unload its car from the transporter until that meeting ended at 7:35 a.m. Other competitors had unloaded their cars and begin work when the garage opened at 7 a.m."


I thought that NASCAR said they were not going to punish Steward for his actions and words. Any delay in letting his staff unload the car is a punishment. It may not be the monetary/points that they normally do, but it is a punishment.
I have been a fan of NASCAR for a few years now. Try as I might, the other types of car racing are not more than a passing interest to me. Like Tony I am getting fed up with phantom cautions and the selective enforcement of rules. I am also not fond of the top 35 being locked in. NASCAR is going down in my estimation. While it will still interest me, it is getting to the point, that cutting the grass, a job I am not that fond of, is getting to me to be more interesting than watching the races.
