RFK responds following Tuesday’s Penalty Report, where Ryan Preece was cited for wrecking the No. 54 of Ty Gibbs during green flag competition at Texas Motor Speedway. Preece was fined $50,000 and penalized 25 points due to the contact, but Thursday afternoon, RFK has decided to appeal the penalties.

Their statement reads, “RFK Racing has decided to appeal the penalties issued by NASCAR against Ryan Preece. We appreciate the opportunity to share our findings with the National Motorsports Appeals Panel at the appropriate time. Additionally, our organization respectfully embraces the forum provided by NASCAR to present our case.”

As of now, there is no set date for the appeal.
