CHARLOTTE, N.C.
The Sprint Cup team of Kyle Larson has been punished by NASCAR for the second consecutive race.
Interim crew chief Philip Surgen was fined $25,000 and the Chip Ganassi Racing team lost 15 driver points and 15 owner points for infractions at the race in Michigan last weekend.
The No. 42 Chevrolet failed a post-race inspection, violating rules relating to actions detrimental to stock car racing and vehicle inspection measurements. Surgen was a replacement crew chief for Chad Johnston, who missed the race after becoming the fourth crew chief suspended this season over loose lug nuts.
Ford returns
After 50 years, Ford will make its return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Chip Ganassi Racing.
Ganassi will send four cars to compete in the GTE Pro division in western France this weekend. The teams will each feature three drivers, including IndyCar regulars Sebastien Bourdais and Scott Dixon, who took advantage of an off week to compete in one of the world’s most prestigious endurance races.
