NASCAR has upheld the P5 penalty of the Richard Childress Racing #31 Chevrolet Sprint Cup team, whose driver Ryan Newman was one of those affected by the penalties, the result of a major violation found during a tire impound carried out by NASCAR officials following the race in Fontana, California on March 22. Newman and Childress did get 25 points back in their respective standings, and crew chief Luke Lambert's fine was reduced to $75,000.
Update, 4/17: Richard Childress has convinced NASCAR to set up one final appeal right before the Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday.
