NASCAR handed down suspensions Wednesday to members of the pit crews for Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe for detached wheels in last Sunday’s Cup Series race in Las Vegas.

The two-race suspensions were issued to members of Busch’s No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet team and Briscoe’s No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team after wheels became unfastened during the Pennzoil 400.

The suspensions will cover Sunday’s race at Miami and the March 30 race at Martinsville for No. 8 crew members Dylan Moser (jack) and Shiloh Windsor (rear-tire changer) and No. 19 crew members Caleb Dirks (jack) and Daniel Smith (rear-tire changer).

Briscoe finished 17th in the race won by Josh Berry in the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford. Busch’s day ended after 35 laps.
