Even Gordon gets nailed!


NASCAR suspends Knaus for six weeks; Hendrick to appeal: NASCAR has issued penalties, suspensions and fines to the #48 team in the Sprint Cup Series, as a result of rules infractions found on Feb. 17 during opening day inspection for the Daytona 500. The #48 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules detailed in Section 20 of the rule book or has not been approved by NASCAR prior to the event); and 20-2.1E (if in the judgment of NASCAR officials, any part or component of the car not previously approved by NASCAR that has been installed or modified to enhance aerodynamic performance will not be permitted -- unapproved car body modifications). As a result, crew chief Chad Knaus and car chief Ron Malec have been suspended from the next six Sprint Cup Series championship events, suspended from NASCAR until April 18 and placed on NASCAR probation until May 9. Additionally, Knaus has been fined $100,000. Driver Jimmie Johnson and car owner Jeff Gordon have been penalized with the loss of 25 driver and 25 owner points, respectively.(NASCAR)
 
Chad gets out of everything except the $100,000. Wonder why he still got a fine, but everything else was dropped?
 
Hey All,

Six-race suspension of Knaus, Malec overturned. Johnson given back 25 driver points; fine, probation still stand for crew chief.

No complaints from me. Main thing is Jimmy gets the points back.

The main thing is, maybe now NASCAR will stop slapping ridiculous fines on a team based on "I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF THAT" with no formal inspections first. They are starting to act like racing gods rather than a sanctioning body. Remember the old adage, "absolute power corrupts absolutely".
