Three NASCAR Xfinity Series teams were handed L1-level penalties for unapproved body modifications from the Wawa 250 at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR announced Aug. 28.
Jeb Burton‘s No. 27 for Jordan Anderson Racing, Kyle Sieg‘s No. 28 for RSS Racing and Caesar Bacarella‘s No. 45 from Alpha Prime Racing all had infractions discovered in pre-race inspection for the Aug. 23 event.
NASCAR cited Sections 14.4.A and 14.4.11 C&D in its rule book, dealing with body and rear bumper cover extensions for superspeedways, as the infractions for all three teams.
All three drivers and teams were docked 20 overall points and five playoff points. All three crew chiefs — Shane Whitbeck for the No. 27, Joe Williams for the No. 28 and Kase Kallenbach for the No. 45 — were fined $25,000.
Sieg finished 15th at Daytona. Burton finished 17th and Bacarella wound up 29th after a crash.
