Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Daniel Suarez and Reed Sorenson will drop to the rear of field in Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway because of unapproved pre-race adjustments Sunday.
Stenhouse’s Roush Fenway Racing No. 17 Ford, Suarez’s Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 Toyota and Reed Sorenson’s Premium Motorsports No. 7 Chevrolet will fall to the back of the pack during pace laps ahead of Sunday’s Overton’s 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Those two will join four others who will start at the back because of issues in Saturday’s post-qualifying technical inspection. That quartet of drivers had their qualifying speeds disallowed, a list that includes defending series champ Martin Truex Jr., Chris Buescher, Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson.
