A NASCAR insider has shared more details about Austin Dillon getting another penalty appeal after losing the first one. On X, a fan asked Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports if the “burden of proof” is on Richard Childress Racing (RCR) to prove NASCAR was incorrect.

“Yes, the burden of proof in the final appeal is on RCR that the appeals panel erred in their decision,” Pockrass wrote. “… [For what it’s worth], the appeals panel standard of proof is ‘more likely than not’ (not beyond a reasonable doubt).”

Pockrass also mentioned that the next appeal is the final appeal, meaning that if Dillon and RCR lose the next round, they will be out of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. After the first appeal was denied, RCR released a statement.

“Richard Childress Racing is disappointed in the results of today’s hearing in front of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel. We respect the NASCAR appeals process, but we do not believe that today’s outcome reflects the facts presented. We plan to appeal the decision to the Final Appeal Officer,” the statement read.

We’ll have more on this story shortly.
