In the week leading up to the Playoffs, there was a major crew change amongst a Playoff driver. Joe Gibbs Racing elected to switch the pit crews servicing Christopher Bell’s 20 car and Ty Gibbs’ 54 car. It was a move that Adam Stevens, Christopher Bell’s crew chief said, “Everybody recognizes it’s the rigth thing to do to put us in the best possible position as a company.”

Ty Majeski failed pre-qualifying inspection on Sunday at Milwaukee as his right-rear tire was confiscated before the race. The penalty was a loss of 75 driver and owner points along with five Playoffs points, and crew chief Joey Shear Jr. was suspended for the next four races. However, the penalty’s sting was mitigated by the loss 75 points not carrying over to the next Playoff round, and Majeski still keeping his auto-bid into round two of the Playoffs.
