Three teams fined for lug-nut violations at Atlanta

NASCAR officials penalized three teams Tuesday -- two in the Xfinity Series and one in the Camping World Truck Series -- for lug-nut violations during last Saturday's events at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In the Xfinity Series, the No. 11 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet team (driver Justin Haley) and No. 98 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford team (driver Riley Herbst) were each found with one unsecured lug nut after Saturday's EchoPark 250. The infractions meant $5,000 fines for each team's crew chief -- Kaulig's Alex Yontz and SHR's Richard Boswell.
