Big Machine Racing’s No. 48 team levied L1-level penalty after Michigan
The No. 48 Big Machine Racing team was hit with an L1-level penalty after findings from pre-race inspection last weekend at Michigan International Speedway.
The Chevrolet, driven by Parker Kligerman, was found to have violated sections 14.4.10.A of the NASCAR Rule Book, which deals with modifications to the rear spoiler. Stated in section 10.5.2.2.A&B of the Rule Book, L1-level penalties include team-sourced parts not meeting the NASCAR Rule Book, failure to meet minimum weight post-race or failure to submit and receive approval of parts.

Kligerman and the No. 48 team were docked 20 driver and owner points and five NASCAR playoff points. Crew chief Patrick Donahue was fined $25,000.
The team left Michigan 36 points above the Xfinity Series Playoffs elimination, but the penalty decreases the gap to 16 points ahead of Friday evening’s race at Daytona International Speedway (7:30 ET, USA, NBC Sports App, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). There are five races remaining in the 2024 regular season.
