measurements Sunday following the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, a penalty
that could affect the 16-car field for the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup.

points to 22 points behind Jamie McMurray for the provisional final spot in the
Chase heading into the regular-season finale Saturday night at Richmond
International Raceway.Richard Childress Racing wont appeal the decision, the
team said in a statement.Our rear toe settings were well within specs during
prerace inspection, the team said. The car made contact with the outside wall
during the race and there was clear damage to the right rear fender and
tire.NASCAR has told us that the [measurement] standard is clear and the car
must pass postrace inspection even if damage has been sustained.In addition to
the points penalty, crew chief Luke Lambert was fined $25,000. NASCAR also
penalized Kyle Larson 15 points and fined crew chief Chad Johnston $22,500 for
failing postrace measurements, but Larson is solidly in the Chase thanks to a
win.Larsons car wasnt as out of compliance of rear toe (skew) as Newmans, and
Larson would have had a 10-point, $15,000 fine penalty if not for an earlier
penalty this year for missing lug nuts. Newman already had been docked 10 points
earlier this year for illegal brackets in March at Atlanta, but that penalty
didnt kick in the NASCAR recurrence penalty clause because it wasnt considered
as severe as the lug nut infraction.Newman though appears to be hurt the most.
He now has had 25 points in penalties this year.Drivers get one point for every
position plus a bonus point for leading any lap during a race and an additional
bonus point for leading the most laps during a race. They get three bonus points
for wins.The 16-driver Chase field is composed of the regular-season leader,
then 15 drivers based on number of wins (as long as they are in the top 30 in
points) with ties broken by points.There have been 13 winners this year, and all
13 are in the top 30 in points. That leaves three spots in the Chase
provisionally open to winless drivers, with there being only two if a previously
winless driver triumphs at Richmond.With the penalty announced Tuesday, among
the winless, Newman trails McMurray by 22 points, Austin Dillon by 31 and Chase
Elliott by 39.Pocono winner Chris Buescher has an 11-point cushion on 30th-place
David Ragan. If he falls out of the top 30 and a driver who already has won a
race this year wins at Richmond, there would be a fourth spot available by
points. With the penalty, Newman has a 22-point edge on Kasey Kahne heading into
Richmond for that spot.In other penalties issued Tuesday, Ryan Blaney was fined
$1,000 for not wearing gloves at the start of practice Saturday. Blaney said he
was unaware he could be fined for not wearing gloves and he was just trying to
get into the spirit of the throwback weekend of Darlington.NASCAR did not fine
Cole Custer for tackling race winner John Hunter Nemechek after Nemechek had
bumped him twice and crashed into him coming to the checkered flag in the
Camping World Truck Series race Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
