The No. 98 ThorSport Racing Toyota was penalized for a height violation after the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series  at Michigan International Speedway -- it's costly.

The team received an L1 level penalty for failed height requirements. While the fines and suspensions are certainly big, the team was docked 10 driver and owner points, which pushes Grant Enfinger 24 points out of playoff contention.

Enfinger's win was also encumbered.

Additionally, Jeff Hensley, the crew chief, was fined $5,000 and was suspended from two Truck Series events when inspectors also found a safety penalty when weight was found to be affixed improperly.
