Team Penske’s Joey Logano managed to qualify 15th for Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway after experiencing a power steering issue inside the No. 22 Ford during practice.
However, the team have opted to make a change to the steering rack to combat the issue before the race itself.
Because the change is considered an unapproved adjustment, Logano is set to relinquish his 15th place starting position and drop to the rear of the 37-car field before the 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Kansas City, Kansas oval gets underway.
All drivers who had been lined up to start behind Logano on the inside lane, starting with Trackhouse Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen, are set to move up by one row, effectively netting them two spots each; drivers who had been lined up to start on the outside lane are unaffected by Logano’s penalty and are set to stay in the starting positions they earned in Saturday’s qualifying session.
As a result, Logano, a three-time Kansas winner, is set to take the green flag in 37th place.
Here’s an updated look at how the field is set to line up to start Sunday’s race.
