LAS VEGAS — The No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet of Ross Chastain will drop to the rear of the field for the start of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Chastain qualified 20th for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). A NASCAR spokesperson indicated that an issue with the wrap forced the team to re-wrap the car, an unapproved adjustment.
