NASCAR's new weight rules required a new lighter weight chassis (although in practice existing Car of Tomorrow chassis remained compatible). Those changes came with a hefty price, as they increased the cost per car by $500,000 for the season.
The penalty came under Sections 14.1 C, D and Q and 14.5 A and B in the NASCAR Rule Book, both of which pertain to the body and overall vehicle assembly rules surrounding modification of a single-source supplied part. In addition, the No. 34 team was docked 100 driver and owner points and 10 playoff points. [52]

In 2004, the sport switched from Unocal 76 fuel to Sunoco. [13]
A 2005 rule change in NASCAR's three national series, revoked from 2013 onward, affects how the owner's points are used.

As a result, beginning with the 2011 season, NASCAR implemented a rule stating that drivers could only compete for the drivers' championship in one of three national series (Cup, Xfinity, and Truck) of the drivers' choosing. On October 26, 2016, NASCAR announced plans to limit Cup participation in the lower series starting in 2017.
