Post-race technical inspection following Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Bank of America Roval 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval has been completed.

Kyle Larson’s race-winning No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro has passed. As a result, NASCAR has declared Larson and his team the official winners of the race.

This marks Larson’s seventh win of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, and the win moves him into the Round of 8 in the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. Larson now has 13-career NASCAR Cup Series wins.

Kyle Busch’s No. 18 car had two unsecured lug nuts, which will result in a one-race suspension next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway for his crew chief Ben Beshore and a $20,000 fine.

Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 car and Chris Buescher’s No. 17 car each had one unsecured lug nut, which will result in monetary fines for their crew chiefs.

No other issues were detected in post-race inspection, which means all results and standings following Sunday’s race are now considered official.

The four drivers, who will not move on to the Round of 8 in the Playoffs are officially: Kevin Harvick, Christopher Bell, William Byron and Alex Bowman.
