In a surprising twist, 23XI has announced that it will not appeal the NASCAR penalty assessed to Bubba Wallace and his crew stemming from a violation of the organization’s code of conduct at Martinsville.

23XI announced the decision in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon.

“After internal deliberations, 23XI has decided not to appeal NASCAR’s decision to penalize the No. 23 team,” the statement from 23XI read. “We disagree with the penalty ruling and strongly believe we did not break any rules at Martinsville.

“It is our conclusion that it is in our best interests, and those of our team members, partners and fans to fully devote our personnel and resources this week toward the championship and not an appeal.”

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
