Two JGR Sprint cup Teams Among 11 Given Darlington Penalties

UNB! NETWORK STAFF REPORT

Joey Logano is one of 5 out of 11 Sprint Cup Series
teams who will be docked practice time at Darlington
for failing pre-qualifying inspection twice.

NASCAR announced Wednesday night that Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth each will be docked 15 minutes of practice time next week at Darlington Raceway for inspection issues at Bristol Motor Speedway. They were among 11 Sprint Cup teams issued warnings.

Warnings were given to:

• Busch’s team for failing pre-race inspection four times.
• Kenseth’s team for failing pre-race inspection two times plus being late to inspection.
• The teams of Jeff Gordon, Joey Logano, Alex Bowman, Travis Kvapil and Timmy Hill for failing pre-qualifying inspection twice.
• The teams of Landon Cassill, Matt DiBenedetto, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin for being late to the inspection line.

NASCAR’s Rule Book states that for every fourth warning a team receives in a season it will result in the loss of pit selection. Warnings can not be appealed.

The new system began earlier this month.
