Following the issuance of the Penalty Report earlier today, Nic Vasquez lodged an appeal with Crown Jewel Racing, arguing that the penalty given (a one-race suspension, a deduction of 10 playoff points, and a six-race probation) was excessively harsh for the cited infractions. The appeal was entered into the Crown Jewel Racing judicial system, and three drivers from the series were randomly chosen using a number generator to serve as jurors. The selected jurors for this appeal were Caleb “The Uberman” Tipton, Jim “The Papa” Mott, and Joe “Donut Joe” Wright. Henry Kalhoff was initially picked but was excused due to a lack of response.
Both parties presented their arguments and the existing evidence. Vasquez suggested modifying the penalty to a one-race suspension and a 10-week probation. After reviewing the evidence, all jurors deliberated to reach a verdict.
By a vote of 2-1, the jurors upheld the original penalty of a one-race suspension, six-race probation, and the forfeiture of 10 playoff points. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the initial penalty remains in effect. This marks Vasquez’s second penalty of the season.
