Tarnished???

No ... maybe a bit *smudged* ...

Sez NASCAR >>>
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Edwards' car did not fail post-race inspection.
But inspectors did find something amiss.
"We had an issue in post-race inspection with the 99. The lid on the oil reservoir encasement, or the oil tank box, was off," Poston said. "So we're going to take the 99 back to the [NASCAR] Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C., and if there are any actions that need to be taken, those will be taken and announced next week."

Lemmie get this straight ...
The 99 Car didn't "FAIL" the inspection ...
It just didn't exactly "PASS" it so good ...

This is starting to get old ...
Used to be there were two Inspection outcomes --- Ya PASSED it or ya FAILED it.

New there's THREE outcomes??
* Ya Pass
* Ya Fail ..
* Ya "almost passed" / sorta failed a lil bit / had an *ISSUE* ...

GOOD GRIEF!

Did he "ALMOST Win" or "ALMOST" Loose??

Tuesday they'll fine him for taking an UN-Earned BackFlip!

I bristle at the thought that NASCAR isn't on the up and up.

You have a sport that was started by men outrunning the law with illegal booze in the car, They let Dave Marcus drive around with leather wingtip shoes on until he retired, Let guys named FATBACK and HUMPY participate,
Let a cigarette company sponor the sport and worse yet, let a beer company sponsor the junior circuit for a while. Drivin' an drinkin'!

Did I mention Enzyte and Viagra as car sponsors?

It probably was that pesky photographer again!

I'm not a Robby Gordon fan, but I am very glad that the points penalty was overturned. I think that was a fair decision.

What's happened to the appeals process? It's actually worked in favor of teams this week. Wonder if the 99 team is going to attempt to press their luck next.

I'm not crazy about 'Recking Robby on the track, but from everything I've read, it is a good guy off the track. And he has done amazing as single car team, so it would be a shame to see him loose so much for a clerical error.

But it is interesting that Nascar, gave back the points and lifted the suspension, but at the same time increased the fine for the crew chief. Almost like they are saying we aren't wrong, but will do something to help you out...a penalty you can better weather. Not sure I like that precident.

As for Carl. Man, I hate that that happened, cause now I am going to have to lower my opinin of Rousch. Be careful or you'll be up there with the Hendrick cheaters!!!

It's about time you seen how Carl and Rousch are

I've been wanting to share this for a long time, but kept forgetting

I got Tony's replica car from his win at Indianapolis. Now I just need to get a nice box to put it it!
