I’ll tell you this; I doubt he would’ve lost that 100 driver’s points if he were with Hendrick this year.

Actually, from what I heard (and it maybe wrong), somebody at DEI got sloppy when they were working on the car and that's how the brackets made it on. Apparently none of the management types and/or people who would have caught it were around. Of course, were he with Hendrick, I'd assume they were on there deliberately :-)

That’s what I heard; the bracket was one of the early prototypes. There also was a memo floated around the garage that the $100k/100 points/4 weeks for the crew chief was the hard minimum for getting it wrong with the COT.
