Three crew chiefs disqualified

NASCAR has ejected the car chiefs for Elliott, Ty Dillon and Austin Dillon for repeated inspection failures leading up to Sunday’s qualifying rounds.

Josh Kirk for Elliott, Greg Ebert for Austin Dillon and Billy Plourde for Ty Dillon cannot return until the next race, Feb. 24 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

NASCAR has cracked down this season on inspection failures and even will disqualify winning cars that are caught breaking rules.
