Ryan Preece: Disqualified at Talladega

NASCAR officials disqualified cars driven by apparent Top-5 finishers Preece and Joey Logano from Sunday's Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway after finding technical violations in both cars' rear spoilers in post-race inspection.

Analysis:

In a terribly unfortunate turn of events, both cars failed post-race inspection after the Jack Link's 500. Preece's Ford was found to have an extra, unapproved shim in the rear spoiler mount. He and the No. 60 team will forfeit their runner-up finish at Talladega and be credited with 38th-place. This is a tremendous blow to what was otherwise a brilliant day at the track for Preece and his team.
