Naw, Mickey wouldn’t cheat, would he??

I agree w/Political Junkie Too. Penalize, scrap the race and have next weeks be the deciding chase race. Will they? Probably not but there is a lot of attention being directed to this one.

Wow, I think this is ping worthy. Updated, Nascar penalizes MWR, teams, crew chiefs, spotter, EVP:

WOW That was not what I had been expecting NASCAR to do. Not by a long shot. I am glad they stood up for what is right.

This article includes the weird radio chatter with Vickers too, asking him to pit on green:

Glad to see that NASCAR did the right thing in assessing huge penalties ($300,000 !!! the biggest in NASCAR history against Waltrip racing, plus) and putting Newman back in the Chase that he deserves.

But what about Jeff Gordon who was snookered out of the Chase by ONE STINKING POINT?!!!

Very valid point. Just re-read the action by NASCAR and the issue that MWR was dinged on was Vickers pitting which allowed Logano to bump Jeff Gordon. From Nascar.com:

“Additionally, Vickers’ unscheduled pit stop in the late going allowed Joey Logano to gain a position, helping him race his way into the top 10 in points. Logano edged Jeff Gordon for the final spot based on the standings, and freed up a Wild Card spot which went to Truex.”

Nothing in there about the spin but you can read a lot of conversation into a $300,000 fine.

Jeff fought his way back from 2 laps down to 8th & in the chase until that mess.
