NASCAR has rescinded Ryan Blaney’s disqualification from Sunday’s Cup Series race at Las Vegas, and restored the No. 12 team’s stage and race finishing positions.
Blaney crossed the line in sixth place on Sunday, but was disqualified from the event and classified last after a post-race technical inspection determined th at the left-front shock on the car did not meet the required length of 22.55 inches, as laid out in Section 14.11.3.5 of the regulations.
However, in a statement issued on Monday, the series said that it has discovered a problem with the template used during the inspection process.
“After further review of the inspection process throughout this weekend’s events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, NASCAR has rescinded the No. 12 disqualification penalty,” read the statement.
