On Wednesday, Young’s Motorsports had a chance to appeal two separate safety penalties issued to its No. 02 and No. 20 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams pertaining to out-of-spec window nets.

Following the appeal, the National Motorsports Appeals Panel ruled to uphold the penalties. The panel issued an explanation for its decision, which states, “NASCAR showed the window net labels were visually and significantly different from the OEM new labels.”

According to an anonymous source, which spoke to TobyChristie.com about the situation, the two Young’s Motorsports teams and the G2G Racing team which had a similar penalty, had window nets with non-OEM expiration labels that were sewed onto the nets.

All safety equipment in NASCAR, whether it be helmets, seat belts, window nets, or any other various equipment, is only allowed a certain shelf life to ensure that the equipment holds up in the event of accidents on the track.

As a result of the decision by the appeals panel, the No. 20 Young’s Motorsports team, which was issued its penalty on May 18th, and the No. 02 Young’s Motorsports team, which was issued its penalty on June 6th, the loss of 25 championship driver points for Nick Leitz and Chris Hacker, and owner points for both teams, as well as a $5,000 fine for crew chiefs Brad Means and Joe Lax will remain intact.

The official sections of the NASCAR Rule Book, which were violated were Sections 10.5.1 and 14.2.3.3.B.C.

The members of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel that weighed in on this case included Mr. Dixon Johnston, Mr. Tom Deloach, and Mr. David Hall.
