The National Motorsports Appeals Panel on Tuesday reduced a P4 levied against Camping World Truck Series team GMS Racing for infractions found during pre-qualifying inspection at Talladega Superspeedway last month.
The three-member panel reduced the three-race suspension on crew chief Shane Huffman from three races to two, citing a delay in the originally scheduled appeals hearing.

The appeals panel upheld the rest of the original penalty, which included a $10,000 fine and six-month probation on Huffman, and a loss of 25 driver and owner points, respectively, for driver Brandon Jones and team owner Maurice Gallagher Jr.
