AUSTIN, Texas — NASCAR officials disqualified the No. 51 Rick Ware Racing Ford after Sunday’s Cup Series race at Circuit of The Americas for a violation found during post-race inspection.
Haley drove to a 17th-place finish, but officials determined that the car did not meet the minimum weight requirement after Sunday’s EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at the 3.41-mile road course.
As a result, Haley was relegated to last place in the 39-car field and will collect last-place points in the revised finishing order.
The penalty also dropped Haley from what would have been a 26th-place ranking to 31st in the standings.
