NASCAR announced the Hendrick Motorsports appeal for penalties levied in the aftermath of the No. 48 team failing pre-Daytona 500 inspection will be heard next Tuesday.

Hendrick Motorsports and crew chief Chad Knaus will both get to plead their case before the National Stock Car Racing Commission’s Appeals Board.

Knaus and the team appealed the $100,000 fine and six race suspension for NASCAR's contention that illegally modified c-posts were found on Jimmie Johnson's car during Daytona inspection on February 17.

Hendrick's case states the car was presented to officials in Daytona after running at two restrictor plate races in 2011. The team questions NASCAR's inspection procedure of only a visual inspection and not running the car through the full template inspection process.

Tuesday's appearance will be Knaus’ fourth before the board; he had a 2005 suspension and fine overturned on appeal, but was denied in three other cases.

Stewart is leading, Bug!

Jr. spun his tires

hate this track

went out, came back, no one moved - they're in the same spot

Kryle spun out. Mark Martin not happy with Jr. (sign language used)

Kahne with another dud of a performance. 3 races.... 3 terrible finishes. Why did they allow Kenny Francis to come over with him

will they pay tony in Big Mac's?

A flat tire is spinning out?

Tires going down was an issue. Tony can drive a racecar, but he had tons of horsepower that day.
