NASCAR officials issued penalties to the Kaulig Racing No. 10 Xfinity Series team, suspending its crew chief for one race after a lug-nut violation in last weekend’s event at Texas Motor Speedway.
Daniel Dye drove the No. 10 Chevy to an 11th-place result in last Saturday’s Andy’s Frozen Custard 300. The car, however, was found with two unsecured lug nuts in a post-race check by NASCAR officials.

The infraction — covered in Sections 8.8.10.4a (Tires and Wheels) in the NASCAR Rule Book — resulted in a $10,000 fine for the No. 10 team. Competition officials also suspended No. 10 crew chief Kevin Walter for one race.
The Xfinity Series is idle the next two weekends, returning to action Saturday, May 24 (4:30 p.m. ET, The CW, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
