3rd place - Edwards likely faces penalty

DOVER, Del. - Carl Edwards’s No. 99 Ford exceeded the half-inch tolerance in the right-rear and failed post-race inspection on Sunday.
NASCAR elected to take the car back to its research and development center in Concord to verify the measurements.
If the findings remain the same, Edwards is likely to face a 25-point penalty and $25,000 fined for crew chief Bob Osborne – the same penalty assessed Johnny Sauter and Kyle Busch earlier this season for similar infractions.
With a 25 point loss, Edwards would fall to sixth in the standings, 28 behind leader Jeff Gordon.
