Joey Logano's win at Richmond won't count towards playoffs

Joey Logano will not be able to use his win Sunday at Richmond International Raceway to make the NASCAR playoffs and will not be allowed to carry the five "playoff points" he earned from that win throughout the playoffs after NASCAR discovered in its Tuesday follow-up inspection that his car had an illegal suspension.

NASCAR also suspended Logano crew chief Todd Gordon two races, fined him $50,000 and docked Logano 25 points for the violation, which centered on the truck trailing arm spacer and pinion angle shim and how much they can move during a race.
