NASCAR <\/a>has confirmed the outcome of two post-race inspections after following last weekend’s action at Bristol Motor Speedway.
<\/b><\/p>\n \nSaturday night’s Cup Series race proved a real thriller due to a dramatic tire falloff and all planned strategies going out of the window, with Joe Gibbs Racing star Christopher Bell emerging as the victor after 500 racing laps<\/a><\/b>.
<\/p>\n \nFollowing post-race technical inspection at the Tennessee track, Bell’s No. 20 was given the all-clear, and his win was made official.
<\/p>\n \nHowever, NASCAR also took two Cup Series cars back to their Research and Development Center in Concord, North Carolina – the No. 47 Hyak Motorsports Chevrolet and the No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet – for further scrutiny.

<\/p>\n Were the cars legal?<\/p>\n \nOn Tuesday, NASCAR confirmed that both cars inspected at their R&D Center were indeed legal.
<\/p>\n \nA NASCAR.com<\/a> report read: “NASCAR officials also indicated that two Cup Series cars were all clear Tuesday after a further inspection at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina. Those entries were the No. 47 Hyak Motorsports Chevrolet and the No. 71 Spire Motorsports Chevy.”
<\/p>\n \nWith the above confirmed, both cars have avoided any sort of punishment and will keep their finishing positions from Saturday night’s race.
<\/p>\n \nRicky Stenhouse Jr. drove the No. 47 to 22nd at Bristol Motor Speedway, whilst Michael McDowell finished 17th in the No. 71.
