While Kasey Kahne captured a thrilling Camping World Truck Series victory over Erik Jones in a nailbiter finish on Friday night at Charotte Motor Speedway, all didn't end well for Kahne and his race-winning JR Motorsports team.

NASCAR announced after the race that Kahne's Chevrolet failed post-race inspection for being too low on both sides and for being too high in the right rear.

While the No. 00 JR Motorsports team likely will be penalized for the infractions, it is typically not NASCAR's policy to take away victories for issues in post-race inspection.

Kahne, a full-time Sprint Cup driver for Hendrick Motorsports, was making a cameo appearance in the JRM truck -- which is being driven in 10 races this season by young Cole Custer.CHARLOTTE, NC - MAY 15: Kasey Kahne, driver of the <a href=#00 Haas Automation Chevrolet, stands on the grid during qualifying for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 15, 2015 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Ok, so you can race illegal, win and keep the win. Sounds like a pretty good plan .
