As Penske Racing awaits potential penalties for Brad Keselowski’s Ford failing postrace inspection at Dover International Speedway, the team blamed a broken part for the car not meeting minimum height. Team spokesman Jonathan Gibson [said] the part failure caused the front of the car to be too low.
In a text message, Roger Penske called the Dover infraction “unfortunate,” and said the team wouldn’t appeal any possible penalty. #56-Martin Truex Jr.’s Toyota was too low in postrace inspection at Texas, resulting in a six-point deduction, a $25,000 fine and probation for crew chief Chad Johnston.
Michael Waltrip Racing didn’t appeal the punishment and said the car didn’t meet minimum height because of debris in the shock that didn’t allow it to rebound. (USA Today)
