No. 00 JR Motorsports Chevrolet headed to R&D Center
CONCORD, N.C. — Post-race inspection placed a slight damper on Kasey Kahne‘s photo-finish victory Friday night in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The JR Motorsports No. 00 Chevrolet driven by Kahne failed inspection after the N.C. Education Lottery 200, failing to meet ride-height requirements on three corners of the truck. The No. 00 measured too low in the front on both sides and was too high in the right-rear portion.
A NASCAR spokesperson said a decision on any penalties for the infractions would likely be reached Tuesday.
Kahne held off standout rookie Erik Jones by .005 seconds in a green-white-checkered overtime finish. The victory, Kahne’s fifth in sixth career starts on the tailgate tour, was JRM’s first in the Camping World Truck Series. It also marked Chevrolet’s 200th triumph in NASCAR Truck competition.
