IT MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE 1960, BUT THE WINNING CAR WAS DISQUALIFIED SUNDAY AT POCONO.  RACE WINNER DENNY HAMLIN AND RUNNER-UP KYLE BUSCH BOTH WERE DISQUALIFIED AFTER THEIR CARS FAILED POST-RACE INSPECTION.  THIRD-PLACE CHASE ELLIOTT WAS AWARDED THE VICTORY.  HAMLIN’S AND BUSCH’S CARS HAVE BOTH BEEN TAKEN TO NASCAR’S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CNETER FOR FURTHER INSEPCTION.  THE DECISION BY OFFICIALS CAN BE APPEALED.
