NASCAR denies Kyle Larson a qualifying attempt at Talladega
At Talladega Superspeedway, Larson was barred from qualifying on Saturday, pending potential further penalties from NASCAR for unauthorized adjustments to his car. NASCAR officials prevented Larson from participating in qualifying, citing an unapproved change to the roof rail of his vehicle during the grid transition. Any additional sanctions resulting from the incident will be disclosed in the upcoming week. Subsequently, due to missing qualifying, Larson will relinquish pit selection and must start Sunday’s race from the rear. Larson’s recent successes include pole victories at Richmond, Martinsville, and Texas, yet the team could encounter repercussions reminiscent of the major penalty Hendrick Motorsports faced last year for non-compliant hood louvres.
