Front Row Motorsports’ No. 34 team was dealt a hefty penalty, a L-2 level, after discovering illegal modifications to the No. 34 following last weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway.
NASCAR docked them 100 driver points, 100 owner points and if Michael McDowell and the No. 34 team win any of the last five regular season races or if they qualify for the playoffs, they will be docked 10 playoff points. Crew chief Blake Harris was individually fined $100,000 and has been suspended for the next four races.
This penalty drops McDowell to 27th in the standings.
