Competition officials discovered the infractions in pre-race inspection before Friday night’s Wawa 250, citing Sections 14.4.A and 14.4.11 C&D in the NASCAR Rule Book. Those sections address the body and rear bumper cover extensions for superspeedway events.
The offending teams were:
-
The No. 27 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet, driven by Jeb Burton (crew chief Shane Whitbeck)
-
The No. 28 RSS Racing Ford, driven by Kyle Sieg (crew chief Joe Williams)
-
The No. 45 Alpha Prime Racing Chevrolet, driven at Daytona by Caesar Bacarella (crew chief Kase Kallenbach)
Each driver and team were docked 20 overall points and five playoff points in their respective standings. The respective crew chiefs for each team were also fined $25,000.
The Xfinity Series’ next race is the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200, scheduled Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, USA, NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM) at Darlington Raceway.
