"LAS VEGAS – NASCAR has instituted a new postrace inspection policy for Sprint Cup races in which the first car out of the race that is not involved in an accident will be held for teardown, much like the cars that currently finish in the top five."............more at the link........

So, a team that can barely afford to even get to a racetrack now gets their car taken away and their motor gets torn down forcing (according to the article) at least a $30,000 rebuild.

Way to go NASCAR. You've just made making a race even more expensive for the teams that can least afford it. Now how exactly are you planning to fill the field to satisfy your TV contracts that probably call for 43 cars? Back to tow money?
