5 or 6 races I think it is. They *need* to be in the top 35 by then, and 25
points could be the difference that early in the season.

twice. I think it was found before and after their qualifying effort.
I could be wrong.

Good point! BTW, I thought I heard that the illegal carb was found twice. I think it was found before and after their qualifying effort. I could be wrong. |
take a swig of Coke. Turn back and pick up the original part and put it back on.

Just read that 25 points were taken from Terry and the new Hall of Fame racing team for an illegal carb used in qualifying. (Joe Gibbs, who is supplying the engines, has taken full blame for the mix up). This seems like a legitimate mistake but I still think the fine is needed. My question is why no points were taken off the 48 for a blatant attempt at cheating. top team >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> new team |

I also seem to remember that the same Rick Hendrick contracted leukemia about that time. What happened to the money laundering charges, and why is Rick cured miraculously of leukemia? |

My question is why no points were taken off the 48 for a blatant attempt at cheating. NASCAR explained it by saying that the parts that Knaus used to make JJ's car illegal, were not illegal parts in and of themselves. Each component of the setup was legal; it was the effect of the way he combined them that made it illegal. OTOH, Labonte's carbeurator was in and of itself illegal (the part wasn't legal). An on-the-line difference, to me, but I'm not NASCAR. (And, BTW, that "felon" stuff about Hendrick is so old it's grey - give it up.) N. |
