Larry Foyt was not allowed to qualify for the Mountain Dew 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway because his Daisy Ramirez Motorsports-owned No. 01 Chevrolet Silverado failed to pass inspection.

Prior to qualifying on Friday, NASCAR said that Foyt’s truck failed to fit the body templates used to regulate critical body dimensions and ensure equal aerodynamic properties between trucks and truck brands. NASCAR did not say where the truck was off spec or by how much.

Foyt, son of IndyCar legend A.J. Foyt, has three prior career starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. His best start was 34th at Daytona in 2009 and his best finish was 18th, also at Daytona in 2008.

The truck was 25th in owner points but now will fall out, which means in the final three races of the season, the the No. 01 Chevy will have to race its way into the field.

If there is a penalty, it likely will be issued on Tuesday.
