Both cars had one unsecured lug nut at the end of the night race in Kansas. Per the NASCAR rule book, cars must have all five lug nuts secured on all four wheels at the end of the race. On the penalty scale, one lug nut not being unsecured or missing results in a fine; the penalty then increases for each unsecured or missing lug nut.

The race win for Wolfe and Keselowski was their third of the season and second together at Kansas.

Quin Houff drove the No. 77 at Kansas and the team finished 34th.
