NASCAR has issued a double suspension for two Cup Series teams ahead of this weekend's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

The decision will impact the teams of Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe after they both lost a tire on track last time out in the Pennzoil 400.

NASCAR has suspended two pit crew members each from the teams of Busch and Briscoe, who both experienced a less-than-ideal race last weekend.

Busch endured a nightmare start in stage one when he was hit with a penalty and pushed to the back of the field after NASCAR declared the No.8 driver had been speeding on pit road.

It was during stage two where the 39-year-old lost a wheel, which resulted in him finishing the race 35 laps behind the surprise winner, Josh Berry.

Briscoe managed to pilot the #19 Joe Gibbs Racing car above Busch and a healthy chunk of the field, finishing P17 after losing a tire following the first round of pit stops, with his place in the standings remaining unchanged.

Following Busch's tire mess, however, the #8 driver has dropped nine places in the standings and now sits 17th.
