Quick Glance: Logano Disqualified: Glove Manipulation in NASCAR
  • NASCAR displayed a clearly altered glove worn by Joey Logano during qualifying at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where noticeable aerodynamic changes suggested a possible violation.

  • Logano secured the pole position at Las Vegas Motor Speedway using approved gloves, refraining from confirming if the altered glove was worn when achieving Team Penske’s first Daytona 500 pole position.

  • Brad Moran, the NASCAR Cup Series managing director, revealed that the No. 22 Ford was among the randomly selected cars for post-qualifying inspection in Atlanta, with the in-car camera promptly alerting officials of irregularities.
