Bowyer Docked 150 Points For Failed Inspection

But he does get to keep the Loudon win from last weekend, though...

NASCAR penalized him 150 points because the car didn't meet specifications.

Crew chief Shane Wilson was suspended for six weeks and fined $150,000. Richard Childress was docked 150 owner points.

Bowyer had moved from 12th to second in points with the victory, but the penalty knocked him back to 12th -- from 35 points behind leader Denny Hamlin to 185.

Asked what that means Bowyer said, "Got to win a couple of more races."

Childress says he plans to appeal the decision...
