Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after NASCAR found an issue with its inspection process and rescinded its decision to disqualify his car.
The Team Penske driver, one of eight drivers still alive in the playoffs, went from eighth in the standing and 56 points behind the current cutoff to seventh overall and 17 points behind with two races left in the Round of 8, NASCAR's version of the semifinal round. NASCAR will cut the championship-eligible field from eight to four in two weeks following the race at Martinsville Speedway with those four remaining drivers having a shot at the championship Nov. 5 at Phoenix Raceway.
On SiriusXM's NASCAR channel Monday night, NASCAR Cup Series Director Brad Moran said the damper template was not consistent throughout the weekend. He said they also took the Penske shock apart Monday and determined it was legal.It was unfortunate for NASCAR but obviously fortunate for Blaney, who likely faced a must-win situation at either Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend or Martinsville the following week. Now, he can conceivably advance on points.
