CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR will not penalize Martin Truex Jr. or Jimmie Johnson for failing inspection after the opening race of the playoffs.Truex won Sundays race at Chicagoland Speedway and Johnson finished 12th. Both cars failed the laser inspection with infractions that should have drawn 10-point penalties.Although the infractions were similar, NASCAR executive vice president Steve ODonnell said the penalties would not have been equal. Truex advanced into the second round of the playoffs with his victory, but Johnsons chances of advancing would have been hampered by the loss of 10 points.ODonnell said not penalizing either driver was the fair decision.If we applied those penalties, the post-race penalty really would not treat each competitor fairly, ODonnell said. We also saw this as a potential situation that we could see repeating itself for the next nine races of the Chase going forward. So we made the decision coming out of Chicago not to penalize (Truex) or (Johnson) for the post-race infractions we saw in Chicago, which the industry would agree were minor in nature.NASCAR didnt budge, though, on the penalties for missing lug nuts. The crew chiefs for Aric Almirola and Greg Biffle were each penalized $10,000 for not having properly installed lug nuts at Chicago. Drew Blickensderfer (Almirola) and Brian Pattie (Biffle) were both hit with P3 penalties on NASCARs scale.Also, all 16 teams in the Chase will go through the laser inspection after this Sundays race at New Hampshire. Only nine were inspected at Chicagoland.When we talked to the drivers and the teams shouldnt all 16 (Chase) go through there and thats a very fair point as well, ODonnell said. Going forward that will be part of our post-race inspection as well. If we have a field of 16, all cars will go through post-race LIS and go down to 12, eight and four.NASCAR is trying to set defined guidelines for penalties to avoid teams manipulating the system to their advantage.We dont want to be talking about post-race penalties, ODonnell said. Our goal is to never have to penalize anybody and we want to just talk about the action on the track. We felt like that this is hopefully enough of a deterrent not to have teams go there and also to be very up front as to what the consequence would be.

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34.F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is unsure about this years qualifying changes and would have preferred to keep the 2015 format, but with race winners given a time penalty. Revisions to qualifying will be introduced at the season-opening race in Australia and while the three-segment format will remain, drivers will be eliminated at 90-second intervals rather than at the end of each session.Ecclestone admits he is unsure about 2016s qualifying changes, but did vote in favour of the revisions as he felt something had to be done to mix up the grid. I voted for them because I think we needed to do something. Im not particularly sure that this will achieve exactly what we wanted to do, but weve got to try it and see, Ecclestone told Sky Sports News HQs Rachel Brookes.What I wanted to do was leave qualifying currently as it is because I think it is probably in some ways more exciting than the race. Then whoever won the race befoore the session, the last race, wed have to come up with some sort of a format so that the winner would have time added onto their qualifying to mix the grid up.dddddddddddd still believe the guy would win the race, but at least he would have a bit of a problem and we might get some good races.The first race of the 2016 F1 season, the Australian GP, is exclusively live on Sky Sports F1.
