Sunday night after the Cup race at Talladega, NASCAR dropped a bombshell as they announced the disqualification of RFK Racing 's Ryan Preece and Team Penske's Joey Logano. Preece had finished second in a photo finish, losing out to Austin Cindric by just 0.022s. Logano was not far behind, placing fifth originally.

Following in the footsteps of Team Penske, RFK Racing will not attempt to appeal the disqualification of Ryan Preece. Preece and Joey Logano were disqualified from the Talladega race after post-race inspection by NASCAR.

Ryan Preece, who initially scored a career-best runner-up finish, and Joey Logano, who initially finished fifth, have been disqualified from the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega following post-race inspection.
