LONG POND, Pa.: Theodore “Teddy” Brown has been infinitely suspended by NASCAR for violating its’ behavioral policy according to the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series rule book.
According to NASCAR, Brown violated Section 12.8.1.e in the rule book which states:
“Member actions that could result in a fine and | or indefinite suspension, or termination:
• Being charged with or convicted of significant criminal violations (e.g. Domestic Violence, Trafficking, Assault), or having had determinations rendered by criminal or civil authorities that in NASCAR’s judgment necessitate action.
NASCAR will not pre-judge guilt or innocence in the criminal or civil legal system, or the guilt or innocence of the Member, but rather review each matter in its own context and circumstances and with regards to its potential effects upon the sport.”
A report from Statesville.com says that Brown, 48, was charged with habitual misdemeanor assault which is a Class H felony in North Carolina and misdemeanor assault on a female.
He was arrested on Jun. 8 following the Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway race weekend and was released on a $10,000 bond.
Brown, of Mooresville, N.C. is scheduled to appear in court on July 28.
Brown served as crew chief for driver Mike Harmon last weekend at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and through the series’ first 11 Xfinity races of 2020.
Mike Harmon Racing has not named Brown’s replacement for Sunday’s Pocono Green 225 at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, although NASCAR’s official entry list has veteran Bruce Cook listed as crew chief.
