Two NASCAR Cup Series teams were penalized Saturday for trouble getting through opening inspection Saturday at Kansas Speedway. The No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford team (driver Todd Gilliland) and the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota group (driver Tyler Reddick) each failed inspection twice before qualifying for Sunday's AdventHealth 400 (3 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). The car chief for each team was ejected, and both teams also lost pit-stall selection for Sunday's 400-miler.
