On Tuesday, Team Penske failed in their final appeal of penalties suffered after Brad Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford was found to have too much skew in the rear suspension following Phoenix Raceway in March.
As a result, Keselowski will lose crew chief Paul Wolfe for this weekend’s race at Kansas Speedway – the final race of his three-race suspension. Wolfe was also fined $65,000 for the violation. After finishing fifth in the race, Keselowski and the No. 2 team were also docked 35 points.
Keselowski still remains third in standings despite the points loss, seven points behind Martin Truex Jr.
