It is something that we knew was a possibility as soon as NASCAR announced that post-race inspection would take place at the track, but it’s a real gut punch to Ross Chastain and the Niece Motorsports team.

After winning the M&M’s 200 on Sunday, Chastain’s No. 44 truck was found to be too low on the front end in post-race inspection. As a result, the win and the $50,000 triple truck challenge bonus have been stripped from Chastain and awarded to second place finisher Brett Moffitt.

This is Moffitt’s first victory of the 2019 season.

Niece Motorsports can appeal the post-race inspection penalty up until Monday at 12pm ET, according to NASCAR.

Johnny Sauter and Austin Hill were battling fiercely for the seventh position in the final stage of the M&M’s 200 at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, when Sauter tapped Hill out of the way. Hill caught back up to Sauter and returned the favor, which sent Sauter’s No. 13 truck backwards into the wall on lap 138.

However, things didn’t end there. After getting his truck rolling after the crash, Sauter sped across the track to find Hill’s No. 16 truck. Sauter slammed into Hill crashing him in retaliation.

Richard Childress Racing’s Tyler Reddick, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell and Stewart-Haas Racing’s Cole Custer have been so impressive this season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series that they are starting to draw comparisons to last season’s ‘Big 3’ in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, and rightfully so. Not only are they 1-2-3 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver standings this season, but they each have racked up three wins in just the first 13 races of the season, a feat the series hasn’t seen before. But their statistical dominance doesn’t end there. Continue reading “NASCAR XFinity – Reddick, Bell, and Custer are miles ahead of the competition”
