No. 2 Team Penske Ford team penalized following Kansas Speedway tire issue

NASCAR officials penalized the No. 2 Team Penske Ford team Tuesday for the loss of a tire after last weekend’s events at Kansas Speedway.

Austin Cindric drove the No. 2 Ford to a 31st-place finish in Sunday’s AdventHealth 400. Earlier in the race, a flat right front tire forced him into contact with the wall going into Turn 1. The tire then subsequently broke off and began rolling away onto the track, a violation detailed in Section 8.8.10.4.A & C in the NASCAR Rule Book, pertaining to loss or separation of an improperly installed tire/wheel from the vehicle..
