While A.J. Allmendinger hoped to carry the momentum from a fourth-place finish in the Coca-Cola 600 into Nashville, things are off to a difficult start for the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet.
While sitting on pit road in preparation for practice, NASCAR officials demanded the car be brought back to the garage. A crew member messing with the splitter caught the eye of officials who saw something they did not like. Officials suspected that the team had made unapproved adjustments to the splitter after pre-qualifying inspection.
