To bad for Hamlin. He had a fast car.

Brad Keselowski's car failed postrace inspection at Dover Sunday because of a broken part on the front of his car, Penske Racing officials said Monday.

Keselowski finished fifth at Dover but his car was too low in postrace inspection. NASCAR is expected to announce any penalties on Tuesday.

The typical penalty for a car being too low is six points and a $25,000 fine to the crew chief.

Team owner Roger Penske told the Associated Press that a broken part allowed a front spring to fall.

Keselowski was docked 25 points earlier this year for illegal suspension parts and crew chief Paul Wolfe was suspended for three races. Wolfe returned to action Sunday at Dover.

IMHFO If it's a legitimate broken suspension part, from during the race, that caused the too-low condition, there shouldn't even be any penalty...

[nvrbdn]

i agree, but then nascar has its own way of figuring things out.

"Driver docked six points, Wolfe fined $25,000 after failing post-race inspection"



Not as bad as it could be given the fact that they're under probation already.

Makes me think, You have to wonder if Penske is regretting leave Dodge now

When is the last time something in the front suspension of a NASCAR broke (not during a big wreck) and dropped the front end measurably, while still leaving the car in good enough condition to win a NASCAR race?

Another damn JJ show @ Pocono  , too bad, I was routing for Tony... I would even take Jr. over JJ 

[A383Wing]

me too...I was hoping Jr. would bump JJ to the wall

I would have paid $$$$$$$ to see that....

[A383Wing]

If I had the $$$, I would have paid Jr. to do it...or give him a case of Diet Dew

[FlatbackFanatic]

Its funny how JJ could pull away from the pack, and no one else could. But will they check his car out, like they do everyone else? no. Hendricks makes them too much money.
So they'll keep this up until there are no more fans watching.

I bet half the stands were empty on Sunday...and they are loosing more & more TV viewers every week....and if JJ keeps winning, I'm gonna be one of them.

And yea...they won't check his car...
