The NASCAR penalties announced Tuesday night included a $25,000 fine on crew chief Steve Addington because Justin Allgaier's car was too light in postrace inspection Sunday.
Wolfe's penalty was considered a P2 penalty on NASCAR's scale. Addington's was a P3. The most severe is a P6.
Keselowski's car was pulled from the qualifying grid right before Friday's session began and sent back to inspection because NASCAR said the fenders by the wheel wells had been flared. It was a point of contention last season as NASCAR did not have a specific rule banning the flared sideskirts.
The fine against Addington was because ballast from Allgaier's car fell out during the race. It caused the car to not meet minimum weight requirements after the race.
Crew Chief Paul Wolfe (right) talks with driver Brad Keselowski prior to a recent race. Wolfe has been placed on probation for the rest of the season for the team pulling out the fenders on Keselowski's car prior to qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Spe
