Playoff bubble driver AJ Allmendinger to start at the rear Sunday in Cup race at Richmond so he can run Xfinity at Road America (Derek Kraus to run Cup car Saturday). Huh? AJ: “Some people won’t understand it, but at the end of the day, we don’t care. This is what we want to do."

I noticed that Elliott and Chastain failed inspection twice! Lost crew member and pit selection.
Do they have to start from the back? — or is that if they had failed on 3 rd attempt?

Man, with the possible exception of Elliott the HMS cars were awful. I was listening to Larson's radio and his crew chief noted that their cars were all identical... identically terrible.
