My point exactly,so why so blatantly cheat?He owns and drives the premier 'Yota team,there was no need to cheat.
It was one thing for Nascar to find "the substance" in pre-qualifying inspection and make Mikey change his intake manifold(given a break), but to find it again in post-qualifying inspection,complete stupdidty.As owner/driver he knew and that makes him an idiot.
As far as Darrel is concerned the only thing I said was how can he defend Mikey.Stupidity of that caliber has no defense.
The truly bizarre thing in all this is that Jeff Gordon starts 42nd for a violation that had no impact whatsoever and the redhat crowd is crying favoritism.Huh?He has to start 42nd!A 100pts(and a $100,00)being taken from Mikey makes no difference to guy who has the money and who knows he'll never be a champion.Michael Waltrip committed the same violation TWICE,on top of what he already was penalized he should've been disqualified from racing the 500.
