"Dale Jr. won that race wire-to-wire. For those who know anything about NASCAR, you'll know how extraordinary such a feat is. If the car was that exceptional due to cheating that three Officials witnessed and did nothing about, then it calls the integrity of the entire sport into question."

...and if you really payed any attention at all lately, you'll know that the DEI cars have ruled the restrictor tracks in the past few years. "Wire-to-wire" would not be a far stretch (especially with the lack of competition in a Busch race) and it proves, more than likely, that any adjustment by the crew member had no effect at all in the outcome.

In Winston Cup, until this past Saturday night, DEI cars had won the last 8 restrictor-plate races: five for Junior and three for Waltrip. And in NONE of them did they go wire-to-wire — at least as I understand the term from horse racing. It's extremely difficult, if for no other reason than pitstops. When the leader comes in, someone else becomes the leader. I didn't watch the Busch races, but did read in other articles besides this one that the 8 went wire-to-wire. So, as I said to other responses on this tread, if you have a problem with the article, email the author.

I don't doubt that the adjustment had any affect but there is now an appearance of special treatment for Jr's car and crew. The should have sent the car back to "template" inspection if the rules require it. Rules should be evenly applied so as to not create the appearance of impropreity. When someone gets special treatment for something even as minor as this, it raises the bigger questions in the minds of many participants and viewers.
