Ryan Preece, Joey Logano DQd after top-5 finishes
A few hours later, Preece was sitting in 38th place in the official race results.
Preece and defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano were disqualified from the Jack Link's 500 after their cars failed post-race inspection -- specifically, NASCAR found technical violations in the rear spoilers.
That dropped Preece's No. 60 Ford to 38th place and Logano's No. 22 Ford into 39th, last place. Logano crossed the finish line in fifth place.
According to a NASCAR report, officials found 'unapproved shims in the rear spoiler area.' Logano's car violated rules relating to spoiler braces used during superspeedway races, per the report.
'The No. 22 Team Penske Ford Mustang was disqualified following post-race inspection at Talladega today,' Team Penske said in a statement. 'One of the 18 bolts on the surface of the spoiler that connect to the base was found to be loose, and NASCAR penalized the team as a result. This was not intentional and happened throughout the course of the race event. Team Penske accepts the disqualification.'
Cindric picked up his first win of the season as Fords originally had four cars finish in the top 6.
NASCAR also announced the No. 5 of Kyle Larson (who moved up to second after the DQs) and the 21 of Josh Berry (26th place) would undergo additional inspection this week at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, N.C.

Ford: A Timeless Journey of Innovation, Strength, and Legacy
Few automotive brands carry the weight of history and innovation quite like Ford. It's more than just a company—it's a global icon, a symbol of progress, and a trusted name woven into the fabric of modern society. From the roaring engines of classic muscle cars to the silent hum of next-gen electric vehicles, Ford represents a legacy of freedom, reliability, and bold vision. For over a century, Ford has stood as a pioneer of both industry and imagination. Whether you're cruising down a coastal highway or hauling heavy loads across rugged terrain, Ford drives dreams forward—generation after generation. In 1903, a visionary named Henry Ford changed the course of transportation forever. He didn't just build cars—he built a movement. Ford believed that every individual, not just the wealthy, deserved access to mobility. This dream gave birth to the Model T, the car that put the world on wheels. What truly set Ford apart was the introduction of the moving assembly line in 1913. This groundbreaking innovation reduced manufacturing time, lowered costs, and allowed Ford to pay workers fair wages. It wasn't just a business decision—it was a social revolution. In many ways, Ford helped shape the modern middle class. What began in a modest Detroit workshop has grown into a global powerhouse. Today, Ford operates in more than 100 countries, with production plants, design studios, and dealerships around the globe. Each region sees its piece of the Ford experience—from compact cars in Asia to heavy-duty trucks in the Americas. But despite its global presence, Ford maintains its core identity: durability, innovation, and customer trust. That's why you'll see a Ford at a dusty construction site in Texas, a rally course in Kenya, or a city street in London—proving that Ford is truly built for every road, every driver. Ford's legacy is one of constant reinvention. While honoring its heritage, Ford has always had one foot in the future. Recent years have seen an incredible wave of technological innovation: Ford Co-Pilot360™ : A suite of advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping systems—all designed to keep drivers safer and more confident behind the wheel. : A suite of advanced driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping systems—all designed to keep drivers safer and more confident behind the wheel.

The automotive world is shifting, and Ford is leading the charge—literally. With a multi-billion-dollar investment in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, Ford is committed to a cleaner, brighter, and more efficient future.

E-Transit Van: Designed for commercial use, this EV delivers zero-emissions transport without sacrificing payload or functionality. Ford is more than ready for tomorrow—it's building it today. If there's one phrase that perfectly defines Ford's spirit, it's 'Built Ford Tough.' Ford's lineup of trucks—especially the iconic F-Series—has been trusted by hard-working individuals for generations. The Ford F-150, in particular, is the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 40 years. It's not just popular; it's legendary. With exceptional towing capacity, military-grade aluminum alloy construction, hybrid powertrain options, and rugged styling, it's built for those who demand power, performance, and perseverance. Ford understands that authentic leadership means protecting the world we share. That's why sustainability is a core focus: Committed to carbon neutrality by 2050 Manufacturing plants powered by renewable energy Use of recycled and sustainable materials in new vehicle production in new vehicle production Innovation in battery technology and EV charging infrastructure Ford isn't just adapting to environmental responsibility—it's setting the standard. For millions, owning a Ford is more than transportation—it's a relationship. It's the car that taught your teenager to drive, the truck that hauled your first home, the Mustang that turned heads, or the van that took your family on summer road trips. Ford vehicles are in the photos of your memories, in the heart of your journeys, and in the conversations passed down from one generation to the next. This emotional bond is what makes Ford timeless. From Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang in Bullitt to Will Smith's futuristic Ford GT in I, Robot , Ford has become a pop culture icon. Songs, movies, video games—you'll find Ford roaring across them all. That's because Ford is more than a car—it's a character, a symbol, and a source of inspiration. With over a century of legacy, innovation, and trust, Ford remains a brand like no other. It's a company that stays true to its roots while courageously reimagining the future. Whether you're a die-hard Mustang enthusiast, a rugged F-150 driver, or a first-time EV owner, Ford welcomes you with open arms—and an open road. Because with Ford, the drive never ends.

Learn About All The Forgotten Cars Of The 1980s This Weekend With MotorWeek's '80s Retro Review Marathon
The early 1980s were the tail-end of the darkest age in the automotive industry: the Malaise Era. The time when emissions regulations choked out the fire breathing big-block V8s of the '60s and American cars were so neutered even the great Corvette didn't come standard with 200 horsepower. By the mid-'80s, America was more accustomed to downsized unibody cars, but American car companies had a tough time competing with the quality and reliability of imported cars. There were several popular American models that have since faded into the ether, but if you want to expand your repertoire of obscure 1980s cars, MotorWeek has you covered. MotorWeek's YouTube channel is hosting a Retro Review Marathon this weekend, and it's exclusively featuring the show's reviews between 1981 and 1990. If you're preparing for an appearance on Jeopardy, or like me you're simply excited to learn about old cars, the MotorWeek '80s Retro Marathon is streaming live now through Sunday evening. Read more: These Are The Most Forgettable Cars Obscure Car Heaven When I first tuned in, I saw the MotorWeek team putting a 1982 Volkswagen Quantum wagon through its paces on a cone course, a model that I wasn't certain ever came to the United States. If you think you're already familiar with all the obscure and unremarkable '80s models that have faded from memory, the same episode that features the VW Quantum discussed two cars that you'd be hard-pressed to find experts on: the Dodge 024 and the Ford EXP. Again, models that many people who weren't alive to see on showroom floors likely don't know about. If you feel that modern cars have lost the plot, I implore you to give the '80s Retro Review Marathon a watch. After a few road tests, you're likely to thank your lucky stars that automotive technology has advanced as much as it has since then. Even some of the best cars on the market had double-digit 0-to-60 times, panic stops that turn into uncontrollable skids, and those wretched sealed-beam headlights. Whether you're learning about these marvels of the 1980s for the first time or you're taking a stroll down memory lane, tune in to the MotorWeek '80s Retro Review Marathon this weekend for some nostalgic entertainment.
