The National Motorsports Appeals Panel announced Wednesday that it has upheld the penalties against Kyle Busch Motorsports for a penalty issued to the No. 51 Camping World Truck Series team last month at Dover International Speedway.
Daniel Suarez‘s second-place vehicle was found to violate the tailgate height rule in post-race inspection.
NASCAR docked the team 10 owner points, fined crew chief Kevin “Bono” Manion $6,000 and placed Graves on probation through Dec. 31.
The matter was heard by Tim Bennett, Richard Gore and Russell Hackett.
Kyle Busch Motorsports has not announced if it will appeal Wednesday’s decision to the National Motorsports Final Appeals Officer.
