On April 4th, Post-Race inspection wrapped up a rocking ham for the NASCAR Craftsman truck series, and Corey Himes, number one tri-contoyota that took. The wind passed with flying colors, no problems there. But fourth place finisher, Chandler Smith got hit hard. Hard his number 38 front row forward, failed the rear body height check, leading to an an automatic disqualification. Smith was holding the championship lead with a solid points cushion, but now he's credited with zero points in a 36-place finish, dropping. Him to fourth in the standings, 17 points behind the top spot, that shakes up the leaderboard big time. Himes, ineligible for the title after missing two of five races, now ties his tri-conti mate, Caden Honeycutt. For first on points after back-to-back winds, Stewart freezing climbs to fourth, Grant Endfinger cracks the top five, and drivers like Tyler Ankerum, Corey LeJoy, with Rams best truck finish in a C, while Time Ageski, Jig Garcia, and Cole Butcher all move up.
Al's DQ like this was freezing himself at IRP last July, so the inspectors mean business. Team coverage, powered by AI. This is F1 News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
