His jackman Brandon Johnson and rear tire changer Calvin Teague would have to sit out the Talladega as well as the cup race after that.

Top five, top 10s, top 15s. And climb our way back out of the points hole that we're in. Justin Alexander said.

The suspension might not affect Alexanders’ plan as Covey hasn’t been in the pit-stop since Martinsville. But it is a disappointing news that shouldn’t have been coming out of RCR at this tough phase of their season.
