*Withdrew due to the team not passing technical inspection.[2] This would cause Tim Viens to cut ties with Mike Affarano Motorsports, saying "I did everything I was supposed to do. Secured the ride with the team, Mike Affarano Motorsports. Did everything financially I was supposed to do. Paid for the ride. I paid for all of the hotels. I bought three sets of sticker tires today before the race, that was $6,500. I paid for a first-class pit crew that was $3,500. I paid $2,000 for the transporter to get down here. Everything I was supposed to do. I was at the track, and was ready to go. This sucks. It really sucks.”[3]

**Driver switched to Ray Ciccarelli.[4]

**Withdrew the car after Bayley Currey, who was originally supposed to drive the #49, left the team. Currey would leave the team due to Ray Ciccarelli's announcement that his team would leave NASCAR after the league banned the Confederate flag, causing major controversy on the team and Ciccarelli. Currey would later confirm he left in a reply to a question on Twitter.[5] As a result, Ciccarelli would drive the #49.
