Justin Haley, RWR disqualified from COTA NASCAR Cup race
Following the conclusion of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Circuit of the Americas, the cars selected for transport back to North Carolina were Rick Ware Racing’s No. 51 and Trackhouse Racing’s No. 1 Chevrolet driven by Ross Chastain. Before sending the cars off, various checks, including weight inspections, are conducted by NASCAR officials. Unfortunately, the No. 51 did not meet the minimum post-race weight requirements, resulting in disqualification from the event and a drop from 17th to 39th place for driver Haley. Despite these setbacks, Rick Ware Racing decided not to appeal the disqualification. The team, especially Haley’s, has shown improvement recently, as seen in their impressive qualifying effort and strong showing during Sunday’s race at COTA. Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet also underwent further inspection at the R&D Center following the race.
