Chastain and Niece Motorsports appealed NASCAR's decision to disqualify them, as they stated that the height of Chastain's truck was not an intentional adjustment and it didn't give him an advantage.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/06/nascar-truck-series-ross-chastain-disqualified-moffitt-appeal|title=Disqualified NASCAR race winner passionately argues against sport's decision|last=Martinelli|first=Michelle|date=June 18, 2019|access-date=June 18, 2019}}</ref> They also believed the truck's height was the result of minor damage sustained when the race began.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://autoweek.com/article/nascar/nascar-disqualifies-iowa-trucks-winner-ross-chastain-inspection-failure|title=NASCAR DISQUALIFIES IOWA TRUCKS WINNER ROSS CHASTAIN FOR INSPECTION FAILURE|last=Weaver|first=Matt|date=June 16, 2019|access-date=June 18, 2019}}</ref> The penalty was eventually sustained.

The following week, NASCAR took action against [[Johnny Sauter]] for his actions in intentionally wrecking Hill under caution. They issued a 1-race suspension. Under normal circumstances this would mean that Sauter would not compete for the championship that season. However, NASCAR, feeling like stripping playoffs eligibility from Sauter was too harsh, granted Sauter a waiver, allowing him to still make the playoffs if he won a race in the regular season and made the top-30 in driver's points.
