HAMPTON, Ga. — Carl Edwards’ first stint atop the Sprint Cup series points standings was short-lived.
NASCAR on Wednesday penalized Edwards 100 championship points for a rule infraction discovered following Sunday’s victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, taking him from a 21-point lead over Kyle Busch to seventh place.
>>>>>Edwards also lost the 10 bonus points he would have received when the points are reshuffled if he is one of the 12 drivers that makes the championship chase. Also, crew chief Bob Osborne was fined $100,000 and suspended for the next six races, and team owner Jack Roush was penalized 100 owner’s points.

Robby Gordon on Twitter just said that all penalties were rescinded for him, except the fine. The fine was increased from $100,000 to $150,000. No points deduction or crew chief suspension, though.
