Daytona Beach, FL (AHN)-The sanctioning body of NASCAR dealt with appeals on Monday. Both Kasey Kahne and Matt Kenseth teams were penalized back in Daytona for aerodynamic modifications.  During the appeals on Monday, NASCAR wouldn't back down and upheld both teams to their punishment.

Matt Kenseth's team had 50 driver and car owner points stripped from them for their aerodynamic modifications at Daytona during qualifying.  Kenseth also lost crew chief Robby Reiser for four races and the team was fined $50,000 for its actions.  Kenseth's car was also found to have a hole underneath it as well that had not been sealed off as NASCAR has indicated as a violation.  Jack Roush appealed to the commission on Monday that the points taken away and the fine were stiffer penalties than last year and that it was unfair.  The board held firm though and denied any change to either appeal.

Both teams have a right to appeal for the second time under Section 15 of the NASCAR rulebook, but no word on if either will do so.
