#12 team gets 25-point deduction

Ryan Newman and crew chief Roy McCauley got hit by NASCAR with penalties yesterday for their Dodge being too high on the right-rear quarterpanel in post-race inspection after they finished fourth in the Texas Samsung 500.

The sanctions: a $25,000 fine, fairly standard these days; a 25-point deduction, relatively light, all things considered; and McCauley will be on probation the rest of the season, but he got no suspension.

25 point seem not much but it's does hurt drop points
The penalty dropped Newman from eighth to 10th in the Sprint Cup standings.
