Impact Elliott's Hendrick Motorsport teammate Alex Bowman was also hit with the same penalty. There was an administrative error that a sealed engine assigned to the No. 9 car was unintentionally allocated to the No. 48 car at New Hampshire. There is no competitive advantage for doing this, but this mistake will cost both drivers 25 championship points, as well as a $50,000 fine for crew chief's Alan Gustafson and Greg Ives. Elliott will be looking for his third straight win at Watkins Glen on Aug. 8.
