Harvick windshield violation leads to Talladega DQ
Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford was disqualified from the Talladega Superspeedway race due to a windshield violation in post-race inspection. NASCAR has strict rules regarding secure windshield fasteners. This violation falls under two sections of the NASCAR Rule Book: 14.5.6.2.F (windshield) and 14.1.E&P (overall assembled vehicle rules). Despite crossing the finish line second to Ryan Blaney, Harvick’s disqualification led to a 38th-place finish, earning him only one point. With the adjusted results, William Byron moved to second, Denny Hamlin to third, Corey LaJoie to fourth, and Austin Cindric completed the top five. Stewart-Haas Racing has the option to appeal the penalty.
