Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing team have been hit with a shock penalty on Thursday.
The issue goes back to Hamlin's victory at Bristol Motor Speedway in March. The No. 11 team has been hit with an L2-level penalty for failing to meet NASCAR's engine seal requirements. NASCAR explained the penalty with the following statement, noting that Toyota reported the issue themselves: “Each race-winning engine must be inspected by NASCAR once the race team determines that its life cycle is complete.
Toyota Racing released a statement after the penalties were announced, confessing that this was a mistake on their end. “As the engine builder for our partner NASCAR Cup Series teams, TRD is solely responsible for the handling and disposition of all our engines pre- and post-race.
