NASCAR penalty report released after Kansas Speedway
The weekend at Kansas produced a decent race and left a few crews penalized for minor infractions, NASCAR announced on Tuesday evening.
According to a press release, Shane van Gisbergen and Brandon Jones were found with loose lug nuts after the Xfinity Series race. Both teams’ crew chiefs were fined $5,000 as a result.
Those were the only penalties, with no penalties coming down in the Cup Series.
For van Gisbergen, crew chief Kevin Walter will eat the $5,000 fine. For Jones, it’s crew chief Adam Wall who incurs the fine.
Both Jones and van Gisbergen had a pretty good run at Kansas over the weekend in the Xfinity Series. Jones finished P6 and led the race four four laps, collecting 41 points in the process. Van Gisbergen finished P8 and earned 29 points as a result.
Van Gisbergen currently ranks sixth in the NASCAR Xfinity Series standings. He has logged three wins this season, claiming two poles and six top-five finishes, as well as nine top-10 finishes.

Carson Kvapil secures his 2025 NASCAR ride
JR Motorsports announced Tuesday it has promoted Carson Kvapil to drive full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025.
Kvapil will have backing from Bass Pro Shops and pilot the No. 1 Chevrolet, replacing Sam Mayer, who signed with Haas Factory Team to drive the No. 41 Ford in the Xfinity Series next season.
Kvapil, 21, is one of NASCAR’s rising prospects. He’s been highly impressive on the CARS Tour, winning the series championship in 2022 and ’23 driving for JR Motorsports. He’s competed in just five CARS events this season as he’s dabbled further in NASCAR.
Kvapil, the son of former NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil, has piloted the JR Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet in eight Xfinity Series races this season. He finished runner-up to Ryan Truex at Dover in April. Kvapil finished P12 in his lone Truck Series start at Bristol in 2023 and has tallied three top-three finishes in as many starts in the ARCA Menard Series.
