Three members of Gilliland's FRM team suspended for losing a wheel
Todd Gilliland's No. 38 Front Row Motorsports team has been penalized for a wheel coming off during last Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway.
The No. 38 FRM team becomes the third team this year to be penalized for losing a wheel in the Next Gen era.
NASCAR switched to a center-locking wheels with a single lug nut for the 2022 season.
Gilliland's crew chief Seth Barbour, as well as crew members Jourdan Osinskie and Tanner Andrews have been suspended from the next four points-paying events.
Previously, both the No. 31 Kaulig Racing team and the No. 50 TMTR group faced the same penalty for issues during the Daytona 500.
The rule violated is as follows: "Sections 10.5.2.6: Loss or separation of an improperly installed tire/wheel from the vehicle."
