Two cars in the NASCAR Cup Series garage at Talladega Superspeedway failed pre-race technical inspection multiple times, resulting in penalties.
Both Kaulig Racing Chevrolets of Ty Dillon (No. 10) and AJ Allmendinger (No. 16) failed inspection twice before Sunday’s race in Alabama (3 p.m. ET, FOX, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), but all passed on a third time through. The teams were penalized with the loss of pit selection for the 188-lap event, and one crew member from each has been ejected.

The ejected are as follows:
- Troy Lankford Jr. (Car chief, No. 10 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet)
- Jaron Antley (Car chief, No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet)
With Saturday’s qualifying session canceled due to weather, Sunday’s field was set per the NASCAR Rule Book. Allmendinger is set to roll off the grid in 28th, with Dillon in 35th. Austin Cindric is the defending winner of the Talladega spring race.
