Herbst Disqualified at Charlotte; Custer Also Inspected

NASCAR disqualified Riley Herbst and the No. 35 23XI Racing Toyota after post-race inspection at the Charlotte ROVAL found the car failed to make minimum weight, dropping his on-track 30th-place result to 37th and reducing his points from seven to one. The car was randomly selected for inspection and will be returned to NASCAR’s R&D Center for a full teardown alongside Cole Custer’s No. 41 Ford. Officials cleared the rest of the field and confirmed the Round of 8 lineup was unaffected. Herbst’s day included a practice crash, a flattened tire after a retaliation attempt on Ty Dillon, and a spin following contact with Kyle Busch. This is the first Cup post-race disqualification since Talladega in April and the second Roval underweight DQ after Alex Bowman last year. Shane van Gisbergen led 57 laps and won the Bank of America Roval 400 by 15.160 seconds for his fifth victory of the season.
