During Sunday’s pre-race inspection, Logano‘s team was discovered to have driver gloves that did not meet SFI specifications. The gloves not only were a safety violation but also a competitive issue, as the gloves were discovered to have been altered to provide a potential competitive advantage.
The issue falls under Section 14.3.1.1 of the NASCAR Cup Series rule book.
For Sunday’s race, Logano – who qualified second for the race – will have to drop from the rear of the field and will have to serve a pass-through penalty on pit road after he takes the green flag.
The team also faces potential serious NASCAR penalties for the competitive aspect of the violation, which will be announced next week.
During the Fox Sports broadcast of Cup qualifying on Saturday, Logano could be seen taking his left hand of his steering wheel and sliding it out the driver’s side window net.
In addition, Cup driver Chase Elliott will have to start Sunday’s race from the rear of the field due to unapproved adjustments.
