UPDATE: Kyle Larson’s car chief has been ejected and he will have to do a pass through penalty at the start of today’s race (at Talladega he will not lose a lap just for the penalty, but will obviously lose the draft). There will be no additional penalties assessed by NASCAR.
NEWS: Following yesterday’s unapproved adjustments to the roof rails, the No. 5 car must serve a pass-through penalty after taking the green flag today at @TALLADEGA.
