Overview

• NASCAR said Hendrick Motorsports was observed making an unapproved splitter adjustment on the No. 24 during a second inspection attempt.
• Crew chief Rudy Fugle was ejected, the team lost pit selection, and William Byron must start from the rear after originally being slated to start eighth.
• Byron must serve a stop-and-go after the green flag, which reporters say could cost him the draft and potentially a lap.
• Officials said the struts were reinstalled and the car then failed when rerun over the measurement system known as the USS.
• Separately, B.J. McLeod’s No. 78 failed inspection twice, leading to car chief Lee Leslie’s ejection and the loss of that team’s pit stall selection.
