NASCAR has issued penalties to the No. 45 team of 23XI Racing ahead of Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 (6 p.m. ET on Fox). The competition officials discovered that the team made unapproved adjustments to the underwing of the Toyota after it had gone through technical inspection. As a result, NASCAR ejected car chief Michael Hobson for the remainder of the weekend and the team lost pit stall selection.
Ty Gibbs will start from the pole for the first time in his career at the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600. This news comes after NASCAR penalized the No. 45 team for making unapproved adjustments, but Reddick will have to start from the rear of the field after reaching the second round of qualifying and will have to serve a pass-through penalty at the start of Sunday’s race.
Reddick finished fifth in last season’s Coca-Cola 600, but this year he faces challenges due to penalties imposed by NASCAR. The No. 45 team of 23XI Racing will need to regroup and strategize in order to overcome these setbacks and put up a strong performance in the upcoming race.
