On Wednesday afternoon, NASCAR handed out four warnings to teams following issue discovered in technical inspection last weekend at Kansas Speedway.
Only one of the four teams, Dale Earnhardt Jr and Hendrick Motorsports – is in the Chase. They received a warning for failing pre-race inspection on Sunday twice. Notably, this marks the second consecutive week that Earnhardt has been warned.
Other teams to receive a warning include Alex Bowman, Matt DiBenedetto and Ryan Blaney.
NASCAR announced in August that every fourth warning a team receives will result in automatic loss of pit selection at the next event.

Nascar is always out to get Junior one way or another. They don’t like it because hes the most popular driver.
Since he’s the most popular driver, wouldn’t it be in NASCAR’s benefit to have him do well? IF he does well, ratings go up with everybody tuning in to watch their favourite. If he doesn’t do well, ratings go down with people disappointed. Just a thought on your theory. Thanks for stopping by :)
