NASCAR penalized driver Michael McDowell and Front Row Motorsports Tuesday for illegal modifications, discovered after his sixth-place finish at Pocono Raceway Sunday.

Crew chief Blake Harris was fined $100,000 and suspended for four races, McDowell was docked 100 driver points, and Front Row was docked 100 owner points.

Tuesdays’s penalties came after NASCAR disqualified Pocono winner Denny Hamlin and runner-up Kyle Busch when their cars failed post-race inspection, also with illegal modifications.
