NASCAR rescinds disqualification penalty to Ryan Blaney from Las Vegas

NASCAR has rescinded the disqualification penalty handed down to the No. 12 car piloted by Ryan Blaney following Sunday’s South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

In a statement released Monday, NASCAR cited “further review of the inspection process” in making the decision. All of Blaney’s stage and race finishing positions from Sunday’s race have been restored.

“After further review of the inspection process throughout this weekend’s events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, NASCAR has rescinded the No. 12 disqualification penalty,” NASCAR wrote, via Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports. “Monday morning during its race weekend debrief, NASCAR discovered an issue with the damper template used for inspection. NASCAR then conducted a detailed investigation, and restored the No. 12’s stage and race finishing positions from Sunday.

“NASCAR has taken internal steps to remedy this issue moving forward.”
