The entire Hendricks team is a bunch of cheaters. I don’t like Jeff Goron, but he is an extremely talented driver. It’s too bad he will always have an asterisk next to his name in the wins and championships as his team cheats. Knaus just gets caught more.
To all the Hendrick bashers.
I would like to point out the COT is a new car, there is a learning curve, there are gray areas that come with this car that are NOT in the rule book.
I really don’t think they were intentionally CHEATING.
Yes maybe pushing the envelope, how else to you succeed in this business which is so competitive?
News could be posted without the name calling etc.
Not to worry, they will be penalized just like Eury Jr and Jr were for their brackets which were also NOT intentional. No practice, no qualifying and they have until practice tomorrow to get the car fixed and inspected. That’s tough in itself, then add in what they will get next Tuesday.
If Nascar wants this truck of a car to be on the track faster than normal they need to give the teams a little leeway with stuff that doesn’t fit their stupid template.
The problem today was a small bump up in the front fenders between the outside measurements which was not specified in the rule book, the areas that were specified passed inspection.
Finally, there are some folks that don’t post on the Nascar threads anymore because of the bad mouthing of various teams and drivers. I’m the only one brave enough to stick up for what I feel is wrong here. JMO feel free to flame away.
I only half agree. From what I read, the 24 and 48 share one garage and the 5 and 25 share another. Notice that it is only the 24 and 48 that were caught.
Rick Hendrick is dishonest, but I wouldn't paint all four teams that way.
Junior thinks he is improving his lot going to HMS, but in all likelihood he will be in the second garage. I think SlowCasey's success has been flukish, and we really don't know if Shrub's success has been because of equipment or talent or how much of both.
What bothered me watching NASCAR Live! was seeing the members of the 24 and 48 teams smugly grinning after coming out of their meeting with NASCAR. I find that disrespectful. >:-<
The other thing I found of interest is that it was reported on NASCAR Now that none of the other teams in the garage were surprised HMS got caught cheating.
HMS: "Racing With Integrity."
