NASCAR officials have ejected car chief Jaron Antley for the remainder of the weekend and the team will forfeit pit-stall selection for Saturday night’s 400-lapper in Virginia (7:30 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).
Two races remain in the 2025 regular season, and entering Richmond, driver AJ Allmendinger sits 20th on the playoff grid, 129 points below the elimination line. The three-time Cup winner will need to win to secure a bid in the Cup Series Playoffs.
