UPDATE: While Kasey Kahne captured a thrilling Camping World Truck Series victory over Erik Jones in a nailbiter finish on Friday night at Charotte Motor Speedway, all didn't end well for Kahne and his race-winning JR Motorsports team. NASCAR announced after the race that Kahne's Chevrolet failed post-race inspection for being too low on both sides and for being too high in the right rear. While the #00 JR Motorsports team likely will be penalized for the infractions, it is typically not NASCAR's policy to take away victories for issues in post-race inspection. Kahne, a full-time Sprint Cup driver for Hendrick Motorsports, was making a cameo appearance in the JRM truck -- which is being driven in 10 races this season by young Cole Custer- Source NASCAR P/R Media Release
