The weather has officially washed out qualifying. The field will now be set by 2019 owner points.

However, several cars will be going to the rear following inspection issues.

Toyota inspection at Las Vegas

Before the cars ever touched the track in Las Vegas, NV the Toyota teams were caught with an infraction. All Joe Gibbs Racing cars in addition to Christopher Bell were caught.

The teams used bondo to modify the body shape of the nose. The penalty saw five teams lose 15 minutes of practice time on Friday.
