Two crew members from Chris Buescher’s No. 17 RFK Racing team, Nicholas Patterson and Jakob Prall, have been suspended by NASCAR due to a right front wheel coming off the car during the Las Vegas Motor Speedway race on Sunday. The suspension will result in them missing the upcoming Cup Series races at Phoenix Raceway and Bristol Motor Speedway. Buescher crashed in Turn 1 as a result of the wheel issue and exited the race, receiving a two-race suspension and a two-lap penalty. The incident occurred after the wheel was left loose following a pit stop under caution at lap 10 of the Pennzoil 400. In addition, two crew chiefs in the Xfinity Series, Phillip Bell and Andrew Abbott, were fined for unsecured lug nuts on their vehicles after the race. A similar fine was also issued in the Craftsman Truck Series to Joe Shear Jr., the crew chief for Ty Majeski’s team, for the same violation.
