Wallace's MIS Truck win encumbered by penalty

NASCAR has announced that Darrell Wallace Jr.'s victory in last weekend's Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway has been ruled encumbered after Wallace's No. 99 MDM Motorsports Chevrolet failed post-race inspection and was handed an L1-level penalty. Under section 20.4.12.b of the NASCAR Rule Book concerning the truck bed cover it states, "Vent holes at the bed top must be configured for air intake only."

Shane Huffman, who served as crew chief for Wallace's first Truck Series start of the season, was fined $5,000 and MDM Motorsports was docked 10 owner points.

Brandon Jones is returning to the team's No. 99 for tonight's Truck Series race at Bristol.

The No. 98 ThorSport Racing Toyota was also penalized, incurring two penalties after last Saturday's race. An L1-level penalty was issued after the truck failed height measurements (section 20.17.3.2.1.2) in post-race inspection. Crew chief Jeff Hensley was fined $5,000 and suspended from the next Truck Series event, and the team was docked 10 driver and owner points. Driver Grant Enfinger's eighth-place finish was encumbered and the point penalty pushes him to 24 points out for the last spot in the eight-driver field.

Additionally, a safety penalty (section 20.17.2.1 of the NASCAR rulebook) was issued after weight was found to be affixed improperly during pre-qualifying inspection.

Hensley was suspended for an additional race, giving him a two-race suspension, and truck chief Josh Hankish was also suspended for the next two Truck Series races. Enfinger's eighth-place finish remains encumbered.
