RELATED: Full results from Saturday's race

 

The Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota, driven to a second-place finish Saturday by NASCAR XFINITY Series rookie Erik Jones, failed post-race inspection at Phoenix International Raceway.

According to NASCAR officials, the No. 20 car was found to have rear alignment measurement issues in the post-race laser inspection.

A similar issue arose for the Richard Childress Racing No. 2 Chevy team two weeks ago at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The team's crew chief, Danny Stockman, was fined $5,000.

 

Any potential penalties for the JGR No. 20 team would be announced Wednesday after NASCAR's competition department meeting next week.

Jones finished second in Saturday's Axalta 200, 2.286 seconds behind race winner Kyle Busch. Points leader Daniel Suarez finished third to complete a 1-2-3 sweep for Joe Gibbs Racing.
