NASCAR determined that Truex's team adjusted the car
illegally after going through pre-race inspection. The car's
right rear quarter panel was found to be bowed out.
After the discovery, NASCAR placed Truex at the rear of the
field for the start of the race. But Truex worked his way up to
an 11th-place finish and advanced to the next round in the Chase
for the Sprint Cup.
Initially, NASCAR said there would be no additional penalties,
but after learning of the pre-race tampering with the car, Pearn
was hit with the probation that extends through the remainder of
the season.
