Two drivers who initially finished Sunday afternoon's Jack Link's 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway inside the top five have been disqualified.
RFK Racing's Ryan Preece, who initially finished in a career-high second place behind race winner Austin Cindric of Team Penske, was disqualified for having three shims on the spoiler of his No. 60 Ford rather than two, while Team Penske's Joey Logano, who initially finished in fifth, was disqualified after his No. 22 Ford was found to be missing a spoiler bolt.
The reshaped top five now includes Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson in second place, his best ever result in a superspeedway race, and teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott in third and fifth, respectively. Front Row Motorsports' Noah Gragson finished in a season-high fourth.
Both Preece and Logano initially scored stage points, and they have now both been reclassified at the back of the pack in stage one and stage two as well, giving them both just one point for the weekend. As a result, their disqualifications have also affected the points tallies earned in the first two stages, not just the end of the race itself.
Here are the full updated results from a 188-lap race around the four-turn, 2.66-mile (4.281-kilometer) high-banked Lincoln, Alabama oval that saw a total of 67 lead changes.
