Cup Teams Lose Chiefs After Darlington Inspection Failures
Three NASCAR Cup teams failed pre-race inspection twice at Darlington, ejecting their car chiefs—Chase Elliott’s Matt Barndt, Chris Buescher’s Josh Sisco, and Timmy Hill’s Dylan Roberts—and costing them pit-stall selections; all cars passed on the third attempt and will qualify with no further penalties, a reminder that teams push the limits during inspections.
