It's very simple. Those with the money can buy the speed to win! It happens in all forms of motorsport. If you win alot you get the sponsers and the cycle repeats over and over. People get sick of only one winner and no competition, so we have rules to equalize the cars and increase competition. That's it in a nutshell. It's been that way from the moment 2 cars pulled alongside each other! Racers are always looking for an advantage!
Here is a novel idea.Change the rules.Isolate the uninvolved hired driver by letting the points go to the driver only and not the team.
There already is driver points and owner points---both categories are docked as part of the penalty, along with the fines and suspensions..... Chad didn't decide and do the C Pillar mods on his own!!!! Stretching the rules and running in the grey area is part of racing, nothing will change that!!!
Truly Amazing!!!! The final appeal cancelled out the loss of points and suspensions, but kept the $100k fine!!!!!!
NASCAR sure did wring this whole thing out for a lot of extra publicity!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
I think(but I am not certain)that makes him 13th in the points.Does that mean they can use the part that was claimed to be illegal?
While I am thinking about this,how much does Chad make a yr??. Does $100,00 really that much to him or does the boss pay the fine for him?? :confused:
he has a contract that guarantees him 10% more than Peyton Manning gets
I was surprised that the fine was not overturned along with the other penalties because the way I understand it, things were overturned because a template was not put on the car. And as far as a 100,000 fine, it is just a slap on the hand for Hendrick. It really doesn't mean a dang thing.
Just proves that if you got the dollars you can buy a decision! IMHO!!! I know some owners right now that are rippin' for having points taken away for the same infraction in the same manner. I wonder what it cost Lowe's?!?! HAH!Quote:

I'll bet Rousch is fuming for one!Quote:
