Kevin Harvick

Officials with Team Penske have not determined if the organization will appeal penalties handed down to the #2 team and driver Brad Keselowski on Wednesday, according to a statement from the team. Stewart-Haas Racing, meanwhile, announced it would appeal the penalty for the # 4 team of Kevin Harvick.

Team Penske also announced that Brian Wilson will serve as interim crew chief this weekend, replacing Paul Wolfe, when the series visits Auto Club Speedway for Sunday's running of the Auto Club 400.

According to SHR officials, the organization "has officially requested an appeal hearing regarding the penalties … and have also requested a deferral of the penalties until the appeal process is complete."

The request for appeal means that crew chief Rodney Childers will be allowed to participate in this weekend's race activities at Auto Club. NASCAR.com
