 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman became the latest driver penalized by NASCAR, losing 25 points Tuesday because his car failed inspection at Texas Motor Speedway.
Newman's No. 12 Dodge was too high when NASCAR inspected it following its fourth-place run, an adjustment that could provide additional downforce to his car.
"What happened last week was a mistake and we're moving on from it and looking forward to this week," Newman said. "We hate to lose points, but we have a good team and we will be able to make them up."
