$300,000 for allegedly manipulating the outcome of the Federated Auto Parts 400. In addition to the fine, Long's team was penalized 200 driver and 200 owner points, suspended for 12 Cup races, suspended from all NASCAR races until August 18, and placed on probation until December 31. Because Long was unable to pay the fine, he was barred from participating in the Cup series. Prior to his suspension, he was a crew member on the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Cup team.
