NASCAR Disqualifies Justin Haley’s Car After COTA Race

In the aftermath of the recent race at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) on Sunday, NASCAR officials have taken the decision to disqualify Justin Haley’s No. 51 car, citing a failure to meet the mandated weight limit post-race.

The disqualification comes after a thorough inspection revealed that Haley’s car fell short of the required weight specifications set by NASCAR regulations.

As a consequence, the No. 51 car, which is operated by Rick Ware Racing, has been relegated to last place among the 39-car field, marking a significant setback for Haley in the championship standings as he now sits in 31st position.

Moreover, the penalties extend beyond the immediate race outcome, with Haley’s team likely to face additional sanctions from NASCAR authorities.

In addition to Haley’s disqualification, NASCAR has also selected Ross Chastain’s car for further scrutiny at the NASCAR Research & Development Center, suggesting a thorough examination of race performance and compliance with regulations.

Despite the disappointment of the disqualification, Justin Haley remains resolute in his determination to overcome setbacks and improve his performance in future races.

Reflecting on the race, Haley acknowledged the efforts of his team and the competitive performance of the No. 51 car, emphasizing its balance and competitiveness throughout the event.

Addressing supporters, Haley expressed gratitude for their unwavering support and reassured them of the team’s commitment to delivering strong performances on the track.
