Joey Logano has been penalized and will start the NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway from the rear of the field due to his gloves not meeting SFI specifications, a safety violation per NASCAR Rule Book section 14.3.1.1. This violation led to Logano having to serve a pass-through penalty at the start of the race. The penalty was also deemed a competition penalty as the gloves were found to be altered, as shown by in-car camera footage from Saturday’s qualifying session. Logano, the defending race winner, will drive to pit road at the entrance to Turn 3 after taking the green flag, likely losing multiple laps due to the pit road length. Any further penalties for Logano will be announced in the upcoming week.
