The No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet of Chase Elliott and the No. 7 Tommy Baldwin Racing Chevrolet of Reed Sorenson will move to the rear of the field for Sunday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Both cars failed pre-race technical inspection two times resulting in the penalties handed out by NASCAR.

Elliott, who won Wednesday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race, was originally set to start eighth after last week’s random lineup draw. Sorenson, meanwhile, was already slated to start last in the field.
The No. 51 of Joey Gase, No. 53 of Josh Bilicki and No. 77 of JJ Yeley all dropped to the rear for driver changes.
