Chris Buescher finished eighth at Kansas Speedway after starting on the front row, but he and Carson Hocevar had their cars randomly selected to go back to the NASCAR R&D Center for further inspection. While the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet was cleared without issue, Buescher's No. 17 RFK Racing Ford Mustang was not nearly as fortunate.
NASCAR found the team in violation of of the following rule: "Sections 14.1.C: Overall Assembled Vehicle Rules; 14.5.4.G: Front Bumper Cover." Per Motorsport.com contributor Bozi Tatarevic, "The rule allows bumpers to be reinforced on the inside up to a 2-inch border around the foam, and they likely went further than that."
