Who's the third driver?

 

[bubbacurry1]

Vickers was probably docked for pitting. Dunno.

Ah. That's right.

If Newman is in the chase I hope he wins it

He is now. I only wish NASCAR had pulled the #15 out of the Chase and to and put in Gordon.

 

[Burhead]

Basically the #15 got off free...

 

[bubbacurry1]

if thats the case, Gordon should be in instead of Logano. Thoughts?

I'd be ok with that

 

[YankeeVol]

300k fine for the team as well

Nerd approves of this post.

I guess since Logono was an innocent bystander, can't really penalize him.

I'm just happy NASCAR is doing something. I would have been happy with Bowyer being docked chase pts and leaving it like it is. Newman deserved to make it(so did Gordon). I would have bet NASCAR would have done nothing.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'm surprised NASCAR did as much as they have. WAY more than I expected

 

[doozer]

Newman got the 31 ride today too.

I know, I take back some of the bad things I've said about them the last 48hrs.

 

[jhen713]

I'm glad he got a decent ride. I hope he does well over there.

 

[SyxxSynse]

I'm a little surprised they went to that extent, but I'm glad they did. The evidence was there, and the call they made was the correct one. Like I said in an earlier post, this should open the eyes of the teams that try to manipulate the rules in their favor in an extreme case like this. Good call by NASCAR.

I'm sure he will. That's decent equipment, unlike FRR

Helton: "There’s not conclusive evidence the 15 spun intentionally."

So basically NASCAR is penalizing Truex who didn't do anything wrong and lets Clint and the #15 team, who did do something wrong, off free.

I do feel bad for Truex and what he is going through due to this whole situation. If I was him, I would be knocking on Waltrip or Norris' office door and demanding an explanation.

 

[bubbacurry1]

**** just hit twitter. Blowing up is an understatement.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Good for NASCAR for showing a big brassy pair. I wish it got Gordon in, but whatever. It screwed over MWR, which is nice.
