Two members of Trackhouse Racing’s pit crew for the No. 1 Chevrolet have been suspended through the next two NASCAR Cup Series races, NASCAR officials announced Tuesday.
Rear-tire changer Kenneth Pozega and jackman Josh Appleby will be sidelined after the No. 1 car, driven by Ross Chastain, had its right-rear tire detach from the vehicle on the race track on Lap 75 under green-flag conditions. The penalties come under Sections 8.8.10.4 A&D in the NASCAR Rule Book, which states in part that a “lost tire beyond pit road will result in [a] two race suspension for two pit crew members [and] a two-lap penalty.”
