Overview

• Chase Briscoe and Joe Gibbs Racing successfully appealed a 100-point penalty issued by NASCAR for alleged modifications to the car's spoiler base.
• The National Motorsports Appeals Panel determined that the elongated holes in the spoiler base were caused by the assembly process, not intentional tampering.
• The reversal restores Briscoe’s 100 points, 10 playoff points, and rescinds a $100,000 fine and a four-race suspension for crew chief James Small.
• Briscoe moves from last place to 14th in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, tied with Carson Hocevar and one point ahead of Kyle Larson.
• The ruling highlights ongoing challenges with NASCAR’s single-source parts system, which has faced scrutiny over manufacturing inconsistencies.
