National Stock Car Racing Chief Appellate Officer John Middlebrook on Tuesday upheld the fines and points penalties against Penske Racing but reduced the suspensions of seven crew members from six to two NASCAR Sprint Cup points races a stretch including the All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 18.. Thats better than was expected.
Originally, the drivers were each penalized 25 points and Penske Racing lost 25 owner points for each team. In addition, the crew chiefs, car chiefs, team engineers and shared competition director were each suspended for six points races in addition to the All-Star Race."The process was fair and equitable," Penske said. "The most important thing is this is over."
