Joe Gibbs Racing will not appeal Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch's NASCAR disqualifications.
Joe Gibbs Racing did not filed an appeal of its disqualifications from Sunday's NASCAR race at Pocono before Monday's deadline, indicating that the Toyota team will accept the loss of a race win and runner-up finish for drivers Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch.
When the ruling came down, NASCAR had indicated that the disqualification will be the only penalty the teams face. Both Hamlin and Busch are already all but locked into the NASCAR postseason and the loss of those finishes effectively only robs the pair of playoff bonus points, so JGR may have chosen not to escalate a process that could distract the team for relatively little reward as they prepare to fight for a championship.
