...did Robbie get busted?

The rubber/foam roll-bar padding is seen between the top of the "7" and the "J".

Jayski has this today:
AND NASCAR's John Darby, the Nextel Cup tour director, said his inspectors would go through the various team haulers checking race cars for missing roll-bar padding: "It was a very large piece of something black and round, and we don't know what it is when everybody is running at 190 mph. Now trying to prove whose it was is another story. But we'll be going through every car as they load them. But that's not to say it might not have been just under somebody's seat."(Winston Salem Journal)(10-30-2006)

With all the cameras on these cars I find it hard to believe that NASCAR does not know who did it. Also, we are hearing nothing about the after race inspections.

In short, NASCAR knows and is doing nothing about it.

As everyone has posted again .....Nascar has decided the video is inconclusive. However, during his interview it was obvious to me he was lying....you just had to see his eyes.

There is no way to fix it for Burton sadly. Taking points away from Crash is useless, monetary penalties would have an effect maybe. Even if they checked the car, the piece would not necessarily come from the car itself. Pretty soon Nascar will have to body search some of the drivers. :) I will apply for that job!
