XFINITY: Sammy Smith (Weights) Disqualified From 5th at Charlotte

Post-race inspection following Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series BetMGM 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been completed, and the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports team and its driver, William Byron, have been officially declared the winners of the race.

However, fifth-place finisher Sammy Smith has been disqualified from the race due to his No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevrolet failing to meet the minimum weight requirement in post-race inspection. As a result, Smith will be credited with a last-place (38th) finish.
