After this past weekend racing it looks like everyone is waiting to hear the scuutlebutt that comes out of the big red trailer.The " story " will take place tomorrow as Clint Bowyer goes through the appeal process for his penalty after winning the New Hampshire Sprint Cup Series race two weeks ago.I have very mixed feelings about it.Was he bumped on the track? Or after the race? You saw the wrecker when he turned into the garage area,the wrecker was on that left rear corner .Hit too hard?what do you thinkNASCAR penalty essentially ends Bowyer's title hopes.Bowyer got busted, but pushing limits on NASCAR rules is an every day thing to the crews and crewchiefsTheres one part of me that feels like Richard Childress Racing might have a little bit of a case, especially once you look at the postrace footage of the wrecker and other competitors hitting Bowyers car. We definitely know the rear bumper was broken loose, the quarterpanel was buckled and braces were broken loose. RCR may have a case.But on the other hand, the case NASCAR has is that the No. 33 car had been warned once (and maybe more than once) about some of these body mounts.I find it hard to believe the appeal committee is going to rule 100 percent for RCR and that they will take off the penalties, fines and suspensions, but they may actually reduce them.Im as anxious to see what happens tomorrow as for any other appeal weve had in the past.

My first response to this was a little different than I feel now. At first I though...how can you let this happen when you've been warned...? But after hearing how small the variance was...hmmmm. Could it have been caused on the track? I dunno....but dang sure is a shame it happened to Clint. Good guy!
