NASCAR Rescinds Ryan Blaney’s Las Vegas DQ, Restores Sixth Place Finish
Blaney is back in the hunt.
NASCAR has rescinded a post-race disqualification levied on Ryan Blaney after his car’s suspension was found to be outside regulations.
The penalty dropped him to 36th in the race and a distant eighth in the playoffs standings with two races to go in the round of eight, which pretty much put him in a must-win situation to advance to the final.
Upon further review, however, NASCAR discovered that there was a problem with the damper template used to measure Blaney’s shock and restored his original result.
