CONCORD, NC \u2013 <\/strong>The three-person National Motorsports Appeals Panel today removed the 25-point penalty to William Byron and the No. 24 team following the Sept. 25 races at Texas Motor Speedway. <\/p>\n

In its ruling, the panel amended the penalty to be a fine of $100,000 from the original amount of $50,000, with no loss of NASCAR Cup Series championship driver and owner points.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Hendrick Motorsports said, “We respect the process NASCAR has in place and thank the members of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel for their time and effort.”<\/p>\n

Hendrick Motorsports will not appeal the decision. <\/p>\n

Byron moves from 10th in the standings and 11 points below the cutoff line to seventh and 14 points above. That puts the 24-year-old driver in a transfer position to advance to the Round of 8 with one race left in the Round of 12. <\/p>\n

The final race of the Round of 12 will take place on Sunday, Oct. 9, at 2 pm ET at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL with coverage on NBC, PRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90). Byron has led a track-best 80 laps with a pair of sixth-place finishes at the 17-turn, 2.32-mile road course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
