As expected, two crew members servicing the No. 51 Rick Ware Racing car with driver Cody Ware were suspended due to their car losing a wheel during the race at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday.

Specifically, this infraction falls under Section 8.8.10.4.C (Tires and Wheels) in the NASCAR Rule Book. Accordingly, RWR 51 rear changer Quill Osborne and jackman De’Quan Hampton will be forced to sit out the next two races at Dover and Indianapolis as a result.
