FORT WORTH, Texas – The No. 1 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing car of Martin Truex Jr. was too low in postrace inspection Sunday following the Dickies 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.
The Truex car, which finished 14th, was a random car for inspection. The top five had no issues. Any penalties to Truex and the team likely would be announced Tuesday.
NASCAR, as is customary, took the engines and cars of race winner Kurt Busch (Penske Racing) and polesitter Jeff Gordon (Hendrick Motorsports). It also took the engine of runnerup Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) and the car of Mark Martin (Hendrick) for a routine postrace analysis.
