In the first month of the NASCAR season, we have seen a lot of officiating decisions. Chase Briscoe got a huge break this week. He had a 100-point penalty from Daytona overturned after the appeals panel found the Joe Gibbs Racing team had a solid argument.

Now, this has created polarizing reactions in NASCAR. For one, Henderson Motorsports can’t believe it. If you forgot, Henderson’s No. 75 truck driven by Parker Kligerman finished first in the Truck Series race at Daytona.

Henderson and Kligerman argued that it was NASCAR’s processes in postrace inspection that led to its disqualification. JGR argued that it was a faulty single-source part that caused its issue, again NASCAR’s problem, not the team’s.

Well, an appeals panel reversed the Chase Briscoe penalty while upholding the Henderson DQ. Granted, these are two different appeals panels.

Henderson Motorsports had one word to say about the Briscoe news. “Bruh.”

It does have to be frustrating to see a penalty reversed like this after losing an appeal. To be fair, NASCAR has shown that the appeals process works. There have been multiple instances of the panel reversing or altering a penalty in the last few years.

While Henderson Motorsports wasn’t given the win back, it’s nice to see things work out at times. Joe Gibbs Racing contends that they didn’t alter that spoiler and the elongated holes provided no advantage.

Chase Briscoe wins appeal due to faulty Next Gen part

Since it was not an intentional alteration from Joe Gibbs Racing, Chase Briscoe ended up winning his penalty appeal from Daytona. 100 points is a big deal. That is two races worth of points, at least.

From negative points and dead last in the Cup Series all the way up to 15th in points, 8 points outside of 10th. For Briscoe, he just got his entire season back. He still has to go out and win a race, preferably multiple, if he wants to be a championship contender.

JGR made the bet that Briscoe’s talent had barely begun to blossom. At Stewart-Haas, things weren’t going great those last few years. It wasn’t a great place for a young driver to truly develop.

However, Chase Briscoe now finds himself with one of the premiere teams in the Cup Series. He should have his eyes on the postseason and Phoenix later this season. First up, Phoenix this week. Can Briscoe get his second race win at the track in his Cup career?
