McGlynn Motorsports appeal set

Thursday, April 27, 2006

TALLADEGA, Ala. - Derrike Cope says McGlynn Motorsports' appeal of a $50,000 fine and 25 points for an illegal intake manifold at Texas is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Cope, the driver of the team's No. 74 Dodge in the Nextel Cup Series, said the team was using a new intake manifold, and when a NASCAR official saw them putting it on the car, they were told it was probably illegal. The car never actually went through inspection with the illegal manifold.

"We're going to go through the appeal ... and see if there is some type of situation that could reduce the fine," Cope said.

The team sat out the Phoenix race and will sit out the Talladega race with hopes of returning at Richmond.

Cope was at Talladega to drive Jay Robinson Racing's No. 49 Ford in the Busch Series because Jorge Goeters, who normally drives the car, was not approved to race there.
