I'm good with the no points deduction, as the suspension itself means Bubba won't earn any points for Homestead, so against the field, it will be similar to a deduction. It also means the cars owners points will continue on with JHN driving, so the crew won't be affected.
A money fine to Bubba on top of the suspension would have been good, however those are often paid by the team (maybe not in this case), so the suspension itself is the most direct punishment.
I feel this is a new standard going forward (you can't compare to prior races/events/years/etc.). Time will tell.
