"NASCAR Reverses Decision, Ryan Blaney's Disqualification Overturned"
NASCAR has rescinded the disqualification of Ryan Blaney's No. 12 Team Penske Ford after it failed post-race inspection at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Blaney's original finish of sixth place and eight stage points have been reinstated, moving him back into playoff contention. The disqualification was due to a violation of the minimum extended damper lengths. Kyle Larson secured his spot in the Championship 4 with a narrow victory over Christopher Bell. William Byron, Martin Truex Jr., and Denny Hamlin are currently above the elimination zone, while Blaney sits just 17 points behind. Team Penske expressed satisfaction with NASCAR's decision and looks forward to pursuing the NASCAR Cup Series championship.
