Hendrick Motorsports Chase Elliott in the No.9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was declared winner of the M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400 at Pocono Raceway after Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin in the No.11 FedEx Toyota Camry and his team-mate Kyle Busch in the No.18 M&M’s Toyota Camry were disqualified after failing post-race tech inspection.
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Managing Director Brad Moran commented saying:
Yeah, unfortunately we were doing our post-race inspections, which we do. “There were some issues discovered that affect aero of the vehicle. The part was the front fascia. There really was no reason why there was some material that was somewhere it shouldn’t have been, and that does basically come down to a DQ. It is a penalty, both for the 11 of Denny Hamlin and the 18 of Kyle Busch have been DQed. Their vehicles are being loaded in the NASCAR hauler and they’re going to go back to the R&D Center.
