The two-time Daytona 500 champion, William Byron, is going to start Saturday night behind the ball after today. NASCAR has hit the 24 team with big penalties after the team was caught making an adjustment after inspection.

There was no qualifying session today due to the weather. William Byron was expected to start P11 after the lineup was set by the metric. However, that has now changed after the team was caught messing with the splitter.

Crew chief Rudy Fugle has been ejected from the race. The 24 team loses out on pit stall selection. The 24 car must start at the rear of the field, and Byron must perform a stop-and-go penalty after the green flag is put out.

Jeff Gluck of The Athletic shared the news from NASCAR. William Byron’s team is going to be struggling to start on Saturday night.

This is a developing story…
