Ryan Preece of RFK Racing and Joey Logano of Team Penske were both disqualified on Sunday after the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega.

Both teams violated rules regarding the rear spoiler.

Preece finished a career high second and Logano was fifth. They are now scored 38th and 39th.

He was disqualified for having three rear spoiler shims instead of two and Logano was disqualified for a missing spoiler bolt.
