A team spokesperson said Wolfe, who oversees the Roger Penske-owned No. 2 Ford driven by Brad Keselowski, will not attend this weekend’s race at Sonoma Raceway.

Race engineer Brian Wilson will serve as interim crew chief for Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 (3 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN, SiriusXM).

Wolfe, 40, also missed a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event in March 2014 for the birth of his son, Caden Paul. Team Penske reported Friday afternoon that both mother and daughter were doing well after the delivery.

Wolfe was suspended for three races this season because of an L1-grade penalty found in post-race inspection at Phoenix Raceway in March.

Wilson served as interim crew chief during those events, guiding Keselowski to a pair of runner-up finishes (Auto Club, Kansas) in Wolfe’s place.
