The No. 95 Leavine Family Racing Toyota of Matt DiBenedetto failed pre-qualifying inspection twice on Saturday at Darlington Raceway. As a result, NASCAR ejected a crew member (car chief Greg J. Emmer) for Sunday’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 and will dock the team 15 minutes of practice time at the next event.
