The World Racing Group Appeals Commission, comprised of independent industry personnel, convened on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, to hear an appeal from Robert Baker regarding a penalty issued to his team, which includes his son Brady as driver, for fuel used in competition that did not conform to benchmarks in June at Batesville Speedway.
The Appeals Commission upheld the findings that after field and laboratory tests the fuel from Baker’s car did not meet the benchmark, affirming at the same time the testing process and procedures employed by World Racing Group and its American Sprint Car Series officials.
The penalty remains as issued: Disqualification from the event at Batesville Motor Speedway on June 22, 2024, including loss of all purse money and championship points earned in the event (purse money total $1,000); a $100 fuel analysis fees; and a fine of $500. The total including loss of money, fine and fuel analysis is $1,600.
