Post-race inspection for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Rockingham is complete, and there were no issues with the race-winning No. 1 Tricon Toyota of Corey Heim.

However, fourth-place finisher Chandler Smith, who was leading the Truck Series championship standings, has been disqualified. In post-race inspection, the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford failed to meet rear body inspection height requirements, which results in an automatic DQ.

Smith was set to leave Rockingham with 33 points and the championship lead, but will instead be credited with zero and a last-place finish (36th).

The updated results move Stewart Friesen up to fourth, and Grant Enfinger moves inside the top five. Tyler Ankrum will be sixth, Corey LaJoie seventh (matching Ram's best finish since returning to Trucks), Ty Majeski eighth, Jake Garcia ninth, and Cole Butcher moves up inside the top ten.

The last post-race inspection failure in the NCTS was for Stewart Friesen at IRP last July.
