In a shock move, NASCAR has made the decision to rescind the disqualification of Ryan Blaney from Sunday's Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Blaney finished sixth and scored eight stage points at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but was later disqualified when the No. 12 Team Penske Ford failed post-race inspection. The reason behind the initial disqualification was for violating NASCAR Rule Book section 14.11.3.5, which lists the minimum extended damper lengths for each shock. Blaney was 56pts below the cut-line in the playoffs after being disqualified, but is now back to just 17pts out after having his original finish reinstated.
A statement from NASCAR read as follows: “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further review of the inspection process throughout this weekend’s events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, NASCAR has rescinded the No. 12 disqualification penalty. 'Monday morning during its race weekend debrief, NASCAR discovered an issue with the damper template used for inspection. 'NASCAR then conducted a detailed investigation, and has restored the No. 12’s stage and race finishing positions from Sunday.
