Penalties upheld after appeal
After the Nos. 2 and 22 cars failed multiple inspections just minutes ahead of the April 13 Texas race, Penske Racing drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano were docked 25 points each and crew members were handed a bevy of fines and suspensions as a result of having unapproved rear-end housing parts.
