Ben Beshore, crew chief for Kyle Busch on the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team in the NASCAR Cup Series, has been fined $10,000 for one improperly secured lug nut at the end of the Geico 500 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway on April 25.

Busch finished 8th in the race that was won by Brad Keselowski.

Both the Cup and NASCAR Xfinity Series raced at Talladega last weekend, but Beshore’s fine was the only penalty listed on the sanctioning body’s weekly penalty report for the Talladega race weekend.
