CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - NASCAR docked Brad Keselowski 50 points in the Nationwide Series because his car failed inspection following his win at Talladega Superspeedway.
Keselowski's lead in the Nationwide standings dropped from 60 points to 10 after Wednesday's penalty.
The penalties were 25 points each for an unapproved left-front spring and an unapproved right-front shock when Keselowski's Dodge was inspected following the victory Sunday. His win stands.
Crew chief Paul Wolfe was fined $20,000 for the two infractions.
