A Monster Energy Nascar Challenge

[Seminole Red]

#9-Chase Elliott, who originally finished 13th, was disqualified for having five loose lugnuts at the end of the race.
Stage 1 was won by #1-Busch (after #9-Elliott’s penalty). Stage 2 was won by #5-Larson.


“It’s unfortunate. The lug nuts on the No. 9 were loose at the end of the race. At the end of the race Chase had a vibration. There were quite a few tire issues through the course of the day so they were hopeful that it was just a cord or something in the tire that was creating the vibration so they chose to run the race out. It’s unfortunate that the lug nuts vibrated loose on the left rear and now we are sitting here with a disqualification for the 9 team.”
