During the race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last Sunday William Byron lost the left rear wheel on his number 24 car on lap 233 of the 301 laps race. According to the NASCAR rule book, losing a wheel on the racing surface will result in crew member suspensions.
MASCAR has suspended rear tire changer Orane Ossowski and jackman Allen Holman for the next two races. The crew members may return to the 24 Hendricks Motorsports team for the race at Darlington Raceway on September 6.
According to the NASCAR Rule Book, losing a tire during the race on the racing surface is a violation of Sections 8.8.10.4.A&D.
Had Byron lost the wheel while still on pit road in his pit stall, there would have been no penalty.
