Briscoe, Joe Gibbs Racing Win NASCAR Penalty Appeal

Chase Briscoe and Joe Gibbs Racing successfully appealed a severe NASCAR penalty, which overturned a 100-point deduction, $100,000 fine, and crew chief suspension following the Daytona 500. The penalty was initially imposed for an alleged modification of the spoiler base, but the appeals panel found the elongation of bolt holes was due to the attachment process, not intentional modification. This decision reinstates Briscoe's points and playoff standing, moving him up to 14th in the standings. The panel's decision is final, with NASCAR having no option to appeal further. The ruling is seen as a significant turnaround for Briscoe's season, restoring confidence in Joe Gibbs Racing's compliance with NASCAR regulations. Briscoe expressed gratitude to NASCAR and his team for their efforts in the appeal process.
