David Starr posted the 29th fastest lap time. However, the team has failed post-qualifying inspection. The team has been disqualified.
MBM Motorsports Statement
“For those who have not seen the news, NASCAR has disqualified our P29 Xfinity Series qualifying lap at Daytona due to our track bar height,” MBM Motorsports opened in a statement.
“We passed pre-qualifying tech this morning with the track bar level as required by the rulebook. Somehow in the normal qualifying adjustments, we exceeded the maximum three inches of split allowed for the track bar. This was an honest mistake.”
“We are not making excuses, but to paint the picture for you all, our entire crew was working today on one hour of sleep after our last lap crash while running in the Top 5 of the ARCA race last night. This Xfinity car was very fast.”
“David Starr drove an excellent lap, and we want to thank our huge team of partners that made our Daytona attempt possible. We will be running a makeup race at Talladega for all involved: David behind the wheel of the same car, same engine program, and all of our same sponsors.”
“MBM has experienced extreme highs and lows during this Speedweeks. We demonstrated in the last several days what we can accomplish with the proper funding. We will be running a limited schedule for the remainder of the season, competing only when we have the funds to run at the highest level.”
