ATLANTA (AP) — Parker Kligerman on Thursday
lost his appeal after having his NASCAR Truck Series
season-opening win at Daytona erased by a disqualification.
NASCAR disqualified Kligerman's No. 75 on Friday night when his
truck was found to be too low in a postrace inspection. Corey
Heim was declared the new winner.
Kligerman immediately announced plans to appeal the ruling. That
appeal was denied on Thursday by the National Motorsports
Appeals Panel.
The panel upheld NASCAR's original finding by ruling "The panel
confirms it is more likely than not a rules violation did occur
and the disqualification penalties in Rule 10.5.2.4 necessitate
a race disqualification.”
The adjustment to the standings gave actor Frankie Muniz his
first career top-10 finish.
Kligerman retired from full-time racing at the end of last
season and has a larger role as a television analyst this year.
He is not entered in Saturday's Atlanta Truck Series race.
