Third-place finisher Chase Elliott was given the win at the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway Sunday after first place finisher Denny Hamlin and runner-up Kyle Busch were disqualified after their cars failed inspection.

It was an extraordinary decision, with NASCAR believing the last time it disqualified an apparent winner was in 1960.

NASCAR Cup Series managing director Brad Moran said, “There was some issues discovered that affect aero[.]” He said it was in the “front fascia,” the cover of the front car bumper.
