NASCAR penalizes two more Hendrick drivers before Chicago street race

Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron and Chase Elliott did not complete qualifying runs in Saturday's qualifying session for Sunday afternoon's Grant Park 165 NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course, so they are set to start at the back of the field.

Set to join them is Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin, who also did not turn a lap around the 12-turn, 2.2-mile (3.541-kilometer) Chicago, Illinois street circuit in qualifying. Byron, Hamlin, and Elliott are set to roll off in 38th, 39th, and 40th place, respectively.

Now the two Hendrick Motorsports drivers who actually did run qualifying laps are set to join Byron and Elliott at the back of the 40-car field.

Unapproved adjustments and repairs were made to both Alex Bowman's No. 48 Chevrolet and Kyle Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet. So despite the fact that they qualified in 11th and 14th, respectively, they are set to drop to the tail end of the field for the green flag.

Larson is set to drop to the tail end of the inside lane while Bowman is set to drop to the tail end of the outside lane. Pre-race penalties issued to additional drivers could affect just how far they fall back to start the race.

Kaulig Racing's Ty Dillon was also penalized after unapproved adjustments and repairs were made to his No. 10 Chevrolet, but he only qualified 34th to begin with, so he isn't set to drop far.

Here's an updated look at the starting lineup for Sunday's 75-lap Grant Park 165 after these penalties were issued.
