In 2013, Norris was involved in controversy after the Federated Auto Parts 400, where he was serving as spotter for Brian Vickers.
As it developed, Newman was pushed so far back in the pitting cycle that he lost several positions and ultimately finished third, not high enough to break the tie with Truex. On September 9, National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing decided to suspend Norris indefinitely, determining that his order to have Vickers pit was a deliberate attempt to manipulate the Chase standings.
lieutenant also docked all three MWR teams 50 driver/owner points before all point totals were reset for the Chase--a move which knocked Truex, Junior. out of the Chase in favor of Newman. MWR was also fined a National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing-record $300,000.
