I agree with the appeal. This was not Kenseth's, or team JGR's fault, and they should not have been handed such a heavy fine, and punishment.

The points deducted from Kenseth were reduced from 50 to 12, which moves him from 11th in the standings to fourth. The panel also reinstated the three bonus points he earned for the victory for seeding in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

It's about time the panel stepped in and told NASCAR that they screwed up. Too bad they didn't side with Penske last week.
