Ax Slinger should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Well, as far as this example goes, "Example:NASCAR.com sponsors the 26 car. The 26 car wins, but fails post race inspection. Does NASCAR fine themselves? Who grts the lions share of the purse?", Flintstone Flyer, remember that NASCAR, the sanctioning body, and NASCAR.COM the contracted "official website" of NASCAR are two different things. NASCAR itself doesn't give sponsor funds to teams, but winnings for even completely lousy performance in races, while NASCAR.COM is Turner Broadcasting (or more specifically Turner Sports Interactive, a Turner Broadcasting company), which is a TV\Media company driven by advertising.

And if you're wondering how NASCAR.COM could get away with advertising on a car, you answered that too in the first sentence of your post, "a contract clause between NASCAR and the Networks.", and NASCAR.COM is part of said "Networks".
