23XI Racing has decided not to appeal NASCAR’s penalty for alleged race manipulation at Martinsville Speedway. The team disagrees with the ruling but opts to focus on the championship. NASCAR penalized 23XI Racing, among others, with point deductions, fines, and suspensions for crew members. Bubba Wallace’s crew chief and spotter will be absent from the season finale at Phoenix Raceway. Despite not directly instructing Wallace, the spotter’s updates on track positions are considered in the penalty. Wallace’s slowed pace in the final laps influenced the outcome, leading to NASCAR’s decision on rule violations. Tyler Reddick will represent 23XI Racing in the Cup Series championship race, while appeals from other teams are scheduled for Thursday.
