Two Xfinity Teams Slammed With Major Penalties as NASCAR Drops the Hammer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR has confirmed two L1-level penalties for two NASCAR Xfinity teams: No. 87 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet and the No. 99 Viking Motorsports Chevrolet. This follows the pre-race inspection at Talladega Superspeedway last weekend, where both cars violated regulations to their rear bumper covers. Sections 14.4.A and 14.4.11.C&D in the NASCAR Rule Book were specifically violated. With this, both teams have been fined $25,000 and deducted 20 driver and owner points, as well as 5 playoff points. Austin Green, driver of the Chevrolet, therefore drops to 48th position in the drivers' standings. Matt DiBenedetto, coming off a successful weekend at Talladega, stays in 24th place in the standings.

MoreThe Rule Book states: "Unless otherwise specified, all body components must be used as supplied from the manufacturer without modifications." According to the violations confirmed by NASCAR, Sections 14.4.11.C&D specifically require teams to use the rear bumper cover Superspeedway extension, Five Star part #15001-45212, and also ensure that this extension must conform to NASCAR's specifications. The rear bumper cover extensions have a specific design to match the high speeds of superspeedway racing and how drafting creates unique aerodynamic demands for each car.
