Nascar Penalties

Holy Crap NASCAR has come down hard on some teams, especially Michael Waltrip's new #55 Toyota team. I hope it was not his fault that a jet fuel additive was in the gas, but of some wayward employee, and I hope if he like he says knows who it is that he punishes that individual appropriately for as that individual has put the debut of Toyota's hight profile team in jeopardy not to mention the -100 deficit that Mikey has to start from at the beginning of the season.
There were other teams fined as well who will lose points and get fines and even Jeff Gordon was forced to start the Daytona 500 in 42nd spot after winning his qualifying race but being disqualified after his car was too low after inspection.
Is this going to be a precedent by NASCAR for the rest of the season?
