UPDATE: NASCAR has announced that three additional teams will be docked practice today. Those will be the teams of playoff contender Brad Keselowski, DJ Kennington and Landon Cassill after their spotters missed the mandatory spotters meeting.

TALLADEGA, Ala. - Six Cup teams, including playoff competitors Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch and Martin Truex Jr., will be penalized practice time Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway.

All the violations stem from inspection issues last weekend at Dover.

The teams of Kyle Busch, Daniel Suarez and David Ragan will be docked 15 minutes for being late to pre-race inspection.

The teams of Kurt Busch and Truex will be docked 15 minutes for failing pre-race inspection twice.

The team of Bubba Wallace will be penalized 30 minutes for failing pre-race inspection three times. Wallace said that he will not have a backup car this weekend. The penalty should lessen the impact of not having a backup car.

Final Cup practice will be from 11:05 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
