The NASCAR Cup Series is all set to go live from Darlington Raceway tomorrow for the 2022 Goodyear 400.

NASCAR teams, drivers and fans will be hoping for an uninterrupted race come Sunday after persistent rain played spoilsport at last weekend's DuraMAX Drydene 400 at Dover Motor Speedway.

The weather forced the race to be rescheduled to Monday, with 78 of 400 already completed. Chase Elliott ultimately drove his No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 into Victory Lane for Hendrick Motorsports. The Dawsonville, Georgia native posted his first win of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season with a win at 'The Monster Mile.'

The throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway, also known as 'The Lady in Black,' however, has not gone according to plan for some teams. Even before the cars hit the track for the 400-mile race on Sunday, four teams received penalties on Friday.

Cars were not taken to the track on Friday due to late afternoon showers, while the garages were kept open for inspection. The following cars failed to clear the inspection:

#4 Ford Mustang driven by Kevin Harvick
#5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driven by Kyle Larson
#34 Ford Mustang driven by Michael McDowell
#48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driven by Alex Bowman

The inspection process did not have the three-time failure process on Friday, which possibly led to cars failing inspection. Usually teams are given three tries at the laser inspection booth to get the metrics of their cars right.
