Three Joe Gibbs Racing cars will start from the rear in today’s Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway because of inspection problems.

The Toyotas of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones will start from the rear because their splitters were replaced after being found to be noncompliant. There could be further penalties this week.

Busch had qualified third, Jones qualified eighth and Hamlin qualified 10th.
