He is NASCAR's vice president of competition, who handed down the

penalties to

Chad Knaus this week. Ironically, Pemberton was Mark Martin's crew chief

in

1990 when the team was penalized 46 points and fined $40,000 because of

a

carburetor spacer. He also received two other large fines for

infractions

while serving as crew chief for Rusty Wallace.

Reminds me of what Childress said when NASCAR anounced they had hired
Nelson:
"99 percent of the cheating in this sport has just stopped."

ingenious massager of the rules!

Here's another one:


In the 1980s and '90s, whenever there was controversy at Daytona, Gary Nelson's
name always seemed to pop up. ...
