Three ejections follow pre-qualifying inspection
Austin Dillon, Chase Elliott, and Ty Dillon will be without their car chiefs for the remainder of Speedweeks at Daytona.
The No. 3, 9 and 13 cars each failed pre-qualifying inspection twice Sunday morning. That results in the ejection of their car chiefs and the loss of 15 minutes in final practice on Saturday, Feb. 16.
All three cars passed inspection on the third time through, and the drivers did get to make a qualifying run for the 61st Daytona 500.
