#2- Brad Keselowski overcame an early-race NASCAR penalty and run-in on the track to contend for a win in Monday’s Axalta 400 but NASCAR may not be done with his team just yet. Despite the penalty and catching the piece of an accident involving Jimmie Johnson on the track, Keselowski finished third. However, after exiting his car and conducting a TV interview, NASCAR officials surrounded the car preventing the team from any further work. A NASCAR spokesman said the sanctioning body wanted to take a closer look at the area of concern before anything else was done to the car. ‘I don’t know what they saw so it is not really fair for me to say anything about that,’ Keselowski said after the race. ‘I can tell you that every car I saw had some body modifications on it after pit stops out there today. I don’t know if ours was more egregious or even if we had one. That is for the team guys to really answer.’(Motorsport)(6-7-2016)
UPDATE: A NASCAR official said the penalty to Brad Keselowski’s team during Monday’s race at Pocono was ‘an in-race infraction’ and that ‘we’ll move on.’ Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, made the comments Tuesday on ‘The Morning Drive’ on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.(NBC Sports)
