#163 Emil Frey Racing and #4 HRT Mercedes-AMG receive Barcelona race 2 penalties

The #163 Emil Frey Lamborghini and the #4 HRT Mercedes-AMG have both been handed 35-second penalties for pit lane infringements in race two at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. 

This means that the #55 Attempto Racing Audi takes overall victory, while both penalised cars fall out of the points and are no longer in contention for the Sprint Cup championship. The team has the right to appeal the decisions, which can be viewed via the links at the bottom of this page.
