On Sunday, Auto Club Speedway hosted the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series. It marked the final race on the 2-mile oval configuration.
View the NASCAR penalty report from Auto Club Speedway below.
Martin Truex Jr pulled off pit road following a pit stop with the left front wheel dislodged. As he rolled around under caution, the wheel came off.
That has brought a penalty to the No. 19 car. It marks the first loose wheel penalty of 2023. NASCAR adjusted the penalty for the violation just ahead of the new season.
