  Bootie Barker and Derick Jennings of Riggs' team, and Dave Skog and Thomas Harris of Sauter's squad were not only given a six-race suspension until July 9, but they were also placed on probation until the end of the year.

  The cars of both Riggs and Sauter were in violation because the rear wings for their cars were both altered.
