Statement from Hendrick Motorsports on No 5 Penalty

“We had an unintentional issue at Dover when our left- and right-side truck arms were bent at some point during the race,” said Keith Rodden, crew chief of the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team. “I’m disappointed in NASCAR’s decision, but we have to accept it and focus on the upcoming races. We have a great team with a lot of positive momentum that we hope to carry into the summer.” Hendrick Motorsports will not appeal the penalty.
