This stemmed from the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on August 29, 2010.
The penalty assessed was a $5,000 fine and probation until December 31, 2010.
The Appellant argued that the repeated instigator in this matter was the crew member from another team, and that the Appellant's actions in response to that crew member's provocations simply brought the situation under control.

By a majority vote, the National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel decided to uphold the original penalty assessed by NASCAR.
The Appellant has the right under Section 15 of the Rule Book to appeal this decision to the National Stock Car Racing Chief Appellate Officer.
