Five Drivers to Start in Rear at Daytona, Serve Pass-Through Penalties After Inspection Issues
This weekend’s pre-qualifying inspection for the NASCAR Xfinity Series was busier than usual, apparently, as five different drivers had multiple failures on Thursday at Daytona International Speedway.
Per NASCAR, five different drivers ran into issues during inspection on Thursday, that will likely alter their chances of winning the Wawa 250 at Daytona.
Justin Allgaier (#7), Jeb Burton (#22), and Parker Retzlaff (#31) will have to start Friday’s 100-lap contest from the rear of the field, and serve a pass-through penalty on the opening lap, while also losing their pit selection for next week at Darlington.
Jordan Anderson (#27) and Ryan Sieg (#39) each had multiple failures in inspection, and will not be permitted to qualify, have to start at the rear, and serve a pass-through penalty, while also losing pit selection for Darlington.
