Well after all was said and done Richard Childress came out of court today 150k lighter and madder than a wet setting hen.After they tried to present their case to the committee who wasnt interested in hearing anything Richard or his experts said. Richard handed them a ck for 150k and an appeal notice and walked out.. You ever heard you can lead a Donkey to water but danged if you can make him drink--sound familiar????? you tell me

You know my position on this subject Johnny. Do you happen to know if the check was in U.S. Dollars, or Japanese Yen?

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Did you really expect it to be any different? The current hierchy in NASCAR is just about as arrogant as the current administration in Washington. They don't care what anyone thinks, they are going to do things their way..........and to hell with those who don't agree with them. I wonder why the approval ratings of the Washington administration are dropping like a rock............and why there are so many empty seats at NASCAR races these days?...............Must be a message there somewhere..........

I do not like Nacszar's brand or product but they did say there would be no slack when the COT was fully implemented. Whether Nacszar is wrong or right there are specs for a reason. At what point do you make the call of an infraction. There is a window in place and of you go out of that window it is a done deal.

Before the cars even see the track the teams sign off on Naszar's rules and regs. If you aknowledge and agree to the sanctioning bodies policies then it is also a done deal.

I do not think that Naszar is spotlighting Boyers team but they told the 33 bunch to watch it. If Childress could have proved that physical damage caused the problem the his appeal would have been granted.

Is Naszar's box too tight ? Sure it is but what if it was not ? Did Boyers team intentionaly break the rules ? Probably not but a rule is a rule and as history shows his team is not the first to be penalised for failing inspection.

No to defend Friyn Brian and the Boys but maybe some one here remembers what happened to the 48 team at Dover a year or two ago. I heard that they told the 48 crew that their car was slightly out of spec concerning the pitch of the car but they did nothing about it concerning a penalty ? If asked about that situation how would the Boys in Daytona answer.

All this would be fine and dandy Richard if they called everything....but if the right name is on the top...some things get over looked. Most of them are "wrong" in one way or another. The suspicion comes from the choices of who gets caught penalized. This sort of thing has been going on for a looooong time.

I THINK THAT NASCAR DECIDES WHO THEY WANT TO BE FOUND ILLEGAL,THEN THE SO CALLED INSPECTORS FIND SOMETHING WRONG.FOR YEARS THE RHUMOR HAS BEEN THAT CERTAIN TEAMS GOT THROUGH INSPECTION WITH NO PROBLEMS,AND OTHERS ARE CHECKED FOR HOURS,AND WERE GIVEN A WARNING,AND SOME FINED

As has been stated before, there are strong suspicions that not all teams are playing on a level playing field. It's already pretty well documented that penalties for violations of rules are not fairly & evenly distributed. NASCAR & Sir Brian (he does call the shots) have been far from consistent when it comes to decision making and the meting out of fines, suspensions, & point penalties. Many decisions in the past could be interpreted as favoring particular teams. Although not involving a fine or penalty, etc., does anyone remember which team it was that did most of the track testing on the COT before it ever hit the tracks? If you were that team, do you think that might give you a little bit of an edge when those COTs became required? Obviously, there has to be a rule book & the rules have to be enforced. I believe the biggest problem here is the distrust of NASCAR & their track record of rules enforcement. We could talk about many things regarding NASCAR's brilliant decisions, such as the invention of the "Chase" & others............and their competency at running a business, but those are subjects for another discussion.

Too much 'behind closed doors' things in NASCAR. When I worked for ARCA, we didn't have the resources to have cars checked after the fact at a private location like NASCAR's R&D center. Everything we did in pre and post-race inspection was in front of everyone. Roped off to give us room, but that's about it. There will always be doubters, but trust me, due to the lack of privacy in our inspection process, Frank Kimmel is a legitimate 9-time ARCA champ, I wouldn't be that confident believing that someone can win multiple NASCAR championships in a short period of time.

Right now, it seems JGR are the favored sons.
