No. 18 Xfinity Team Penalized

The No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series was issued an L1-level penalty following last weekend’s Pocono Green 250 at Pocono Raceway.

Kyle Busch drove the No. 18 Toyota to the win in the race but the car did not meet height measurements in post-race inspection, violating Sections 20.17.3.2.1.2.a of the NASCAR Rule Book.

Crew chief Eric Phillips was fined $10,000 and suspended for the next Xfinity Series championship points event. The team was also assessed with the loss of 10 owner points.
