NASCAR competition officials announced Monday that the Hendrick Motorsports No. 48 team's appeal of P1-level penalties will be heard on Tuesday, June 9.
The proceedings are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET at the NASCAR Research & Development Center in Concord, North Carolina.
NASCAR officials announced P1-grade penalties last Wednesday after an accumulation of written warnings for minor infractions during two weekends of racing for the Sprint Cup Series last month at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Officials punished the No. 48 team by removing its ability to choose its own pit stall, but the organization indicated Thursday that it would appeal.
The appeal prevented the penalty from going into effect last weekend at Dover International Speedway, allowing No. 48 crew chief Chad Knaus to select a pit stall based on driver Jimmie Johnson's speed in Friday's Coors Light Qualifying. Johnson started 14th and prevailed in the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks, registering his series-best fourth victory of the season and the 10th of his career at the Monster Mile.
Johnson touched on the penalty in a pre-race media availability Friday at Dover.
"Definitely we don't agree with what has happened and getting the letters and that's why the appeal has taken place,'' Johnson said. "I look forward to the appeal process running its course, and respect it and certainly hope for a different outcome once everything has run its course.''
