Richard Childress still isn't convinced that Austin Dillon should have been penalized following his Richmond win, even after two appeals were heard by the National Motorsports Appeals Panel. Childress says the ruling has changed NASCAR forever.
, which removed the automatic Playoff berth attached to Dillon's win in the Cook Out 400, the disappointment has not subsided for Childress.
While the penalties didn't have an attached monetary fine to them, Childress says the ruling, which dropped Dillon from being inside the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff field to potentially outside of it if the driver of the No. 3 Chevrolet doesn't win Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, cost Richard Childress Racing more than $1 million.
"It's an appointed appeal group," Childress said of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel. "And it's tough to beat an appointment in anything."
