I.) Chemical alterations, vulcanizing, tire softening, defacing and/or altering the face of the tire lettering and/or tire stamping will not be permitted. Chemicals or tire softening is not permitted at any time. Tires may be inspected at any time.

Milliken's disqualification from the event includes a loss of all purse money, championship points and a fine for a total of $12,280. In additional to monetary fines and penalties, Milliken has been fined an additional 1,000 championship points, suspended from all World of Outlaws and DIRTcar sanctioned events until July 30 and placed on probation until the end of the 2016 season.
