Penske No. 22 Team Hit With Penalty

Joey Logano dominated Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Dover and found his way to victory lane. Later on Saturday we found out that Logano’s Ford didn’t pass post-race inspection due to the car being to low. NASCAR announced late Tuesday evening that Logano and the No. 22 team will be docked 6 owner and driver points as well as Crew Chief Jeremy Bullins fined 10,000 dollars.

During post-race inspection Sept. 28, the No. 22 car was found to have violated Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4J (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to the NASCAR rules detailed in Section 20-A of the NASCAR rule book, or has been approved by NASCAR prior to the event); and 20A-12.8.1(B) (the car failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2013 rule book.

This put’s a tiny bit of a damper on the No. 22’s lead in the Nationwide Owner Standings as they currently are in a head to head battle with the No. 54 Toyota for that Owner’s Championship.  Brad Keselowski will be back in the Penske machine this weekend in Kansas looking to beast out Kyle Busch.
