Christopher Bell fails Chicago post-race inspection

NASCAR officials disqualified the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota on Saturday afternoon, throwing out Christopher Bell’s third-place finish in the NASCAR Xfinity Series after his car failed post-race inspection.
According to Wayne Auton, managing director for the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the No. 20 failed the height station of post-race inspection, which is standard procedure for the top-five finishing vehicles and a sixth selected at random. Bell was demoted to a last-place result in the 38-car field.
“When we put the sticks on, the car failed both front heights and the right rear,” Auton said. “The front was extremely low. The right rear was a little high, which is normally what you see when a car on the front sort of tilts toward the front. It’s going to come up, it has to go somewhere.”
Additionally, NASCAR officials announced that the race-winning Stewart-Haas Racing No. 00 Ford of Cole Custer was found with one lug nut not safely secured after a post-race check.

"finally"? why "finally"?How long has this been in effect. I guess I thought this was the first race under this new version of the "post race inspection rule"......mac
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

No surprise that it was a Gibbs car. Just surprised they didn't look the other way.

You must have missed the memo, this has been in effect since the beginning of the season. This happened in the truck series a couple of weeks ago. Now we wait to see who gets 'the honor' of being the first in the Cup Series...
