PENALTY REPORT UPDATE: VILLANO APPEAL GRANTED-PENALTY DISMISSED

BREAKING NEWS: Crown Jewel Officials announced that penalties issued to the #34 Thomas Villano have been rescinded after a lengthy appeal hearing this afternoon. Villano will be allowed to race next week at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis.

The jury made up of Ray Gill, Kristopher Burnham, and Cody Porter voted in a 2-1 favor that the incident involving Villano and Nathaniel Campbell under caution wasn’t intentional or reckless. CJR Official Gordon Fraley was stunned by the decision.

“I’m highly disappointed in the appeals panel ruling, the integrity of the sport is at an all time low.”

Villano who was a visibly different person in the courtroom had this to say.

“For the sake of everyone, I will try and clean it up in all honesty. I’ll be more rational, and will try not to yell at the members of the league anymore.”

Villano was issued the black flag during the Pocono race for a stop and hold penalty and finished the race in 23rd. The Circuit Cup Series will resume next Wednesday night in Indianapolis for the Crown Jewel Race Brickyard 400. Let’s hope the drivers accept the jury’s decision and don’t attempt to take justice into their own hands.
