RFK Racin💮g has revealed the root cause of Ryan Preece’s disqualification from the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega on Sunday.

Preece had originally secured his best career result in the Cup Series after finishing second on the road ꦫat Talladega Superspeedway, just 0.022s behind race winner Austin Cindric of Team Penske.

However, the #60 RFK Racing Ford Mustang was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:excluded from the results after post-ღrace technical checks revealed the use of for using unappro💫ved shims in the rear spoiler area.

RFK Racing has now explained that the DSQ was caused by an “unintentional” pre-race adjustment to the car to correctℱ a 🐎spoiler angle.

The team maintains that it did not gain a competitive advantage because of the modification and is committed to “adhering” to NASCAR’s standards.
 
“RFK Racing acknowledges and accepts NASCAR's decision to disqualify the No. 60 Ford Mustang following post-race inspection at 𝓰Talladega aꦡnd will not appeal the ruling,” it said in a statement.

"The infraction stemmed from an unintention൩al adjustment during pre-race inspection to correct a spoiler angle issue. While the change did not provide a competitive advantage, it did not meet the approved compliance method. We respect the ruling and remain committed to integrity and adherence to NASCAR's standards."

Preece was relegated to 38th place in the 39-car field following the disqualification. The points lost have dealt him a hefty bl൩ow in the championship standings, dropping him from 14th to 19th place.

Penske driver Joey Logano, who took the chequ🎐ered flag in fifth place, was als🐼o thrown out of the results for a spoiler infringement.

In his case, Penske revealed tꦺhat “one of the 18 bolts on the surface of the spoiler that connect to the base was found to be loose.”

Like RFK, Penske has decided not to appeal against 🃏the disqualification.

Logano has slipped from 10th to 13th on the leaderboard afte﷽r Talladega, but he remains in the hunt for a playoff spot.
