NASCAR levied L1-level penalties to two Xfinity Series teams after parts modifications were discovered in pre-race inspection last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
The No. 87 Jordan Anderson Racing Chevrolet and No. 99 Viking Motorsports Chevrolet were both found to be in violation of Sections 14.4.A: Body; 14.4.11.C&D in the NASCAR Rule Book, having to do with rear bumper covers.

As a result, the teams were each fined $25,000 and assessed with the loss of 20 driver and owner points and five playoff points.
Austin Green did not qualify for the main event at Talladega in the No. 87, while Matt DiBenedetto finished the race a season-best fifth in the No. 99. DiBenedetto remains 24th in the standings, while Green goes from 48th place to last.
The Xfinity Series is back in action on Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway (2 p.m. ET, The CW, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
