World of Outlaws officials fined Late Model driver Shannon Babb after a tire sample taken following qualifying for the World of Outlaws Illini 100 at Farmer City Raceway failed a laboratory conformity test. Officials sent samples to an independent laboratory, which compared them to a Hoosier benchmark and found the tire did not conform.

Babb’s total penalties amounted to $11,771.33. They included withholding of prize money and contingencies, a fine equal to one-third of the first-place “to-win” amount, and charges for tire testing and shipping.

Officials also placed Babb on 12-month probation and announced the sanction as part of the post-qualifying inspection. The reports did not include any appeal or further procedural details.
