NASCAR, during the post-race inspection, found Busch's No. 18 Toyota was too low in the left and right front. While Busch gets to keep the win, the victory is no longer eligible for the owner's points playoff in the Xfinity Series.
That's not the only penalty NASCAR handed down. NBC Sports reported Crew chief Scott Graves was fined $10,000 and suspended from the next NASCAR Xfinity Series points event, and Joe Gibbs Racing lost10 NASCAR Xfinity Series owner points.
