tedicast Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating The 48 didn't meet the height requirement. Said it wasn't even close. The 5 car didn't meet the quarter panel template on the right side. Don't you think they should have picked that one up in pre race inspection? Said there will be major fines, and owner, and driver points taken away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Didn't the 48 have to knock in some of the right side during the race? That is REALLY interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Now you see like Tedi mentioned this stuff should have been cought and rejected at the pre-race inspection, I think that this is something NASCAR should eat,,,,,I definately wouldn't call it cheating if NASCAR cleared the car/cars for the race......JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating I'll be watching a replay of Victory Lane this morning to see what is going on. If neight didn't meet height requirements, I think the win should be taken away. Harvick didn't meet the qualifying requirements and they disallowed his time. Only makes sense to me.

VermontHunter Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Just a question here for ya Chrud, when was the last time you saw NASCAR take a win away from a driver ???? I ask becuase I have never seen it done myself and just thought you may have the answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Wel, I can't stand cheating and if they did get caught I might be changing drivers. Can't stand cheaters, just like baseball.. just to get an edge for a win, we need to disgard the rep on the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Couldn't tell you if they ever took a win away or not, BUT the violation HELPED the 48 win the race. Did the violation alone win the race for the 48? Maybe. He was good, but he wasn't the best car there. I think had he not been too low that he probably wouldn't have won. Anyword on Gordon? He hadn't gone through the sticks yet at the time of the news. Strange that the top two cars (both Hendrick) cheated to win though. I might not like them, but it sure is a shame. You'd sure hate it if Kurt Busch or someone else would have won if the playing field was level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating as far as I can tell Chrud, Gordon's car passed the post race Tech. inspection....and all that I can find on the other two cars is that further results and if there was ging to be any action taken would be announced later in the week....Hmmmm ????? this whole thing seems quite odd to me..

Guest deldeer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating it's kind of funny that when someone don't like a driver, & they get caught bending the rules, they should do this, & take this away, or do that.....but all is forgotten when their driver gets caught. anyone that knows anything about nascar knows that the competetion is so close you have to tweak things sometime to get an edge (not use unapproved parts).....they all do it!!!...i mean all !!!....does anyone remember when the drivers use to get out of the cars & jump on the roof ???? nascar stopped that because the cars were not measuring up at the post race inspections.however the crew chiefs said a driver cannot mash the cars down enough to fail. maybe they are right???.... maybe it was worn springs, or shocks, WE don't know, afterall nascar approved the car for the race. i think some people just like to jump to conclusions somtimes.....

Addct2hntng Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating Jump to conclusions ? Just stating a fact that they got cought cheating just like the others that have been caught.....and should pay the price ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deldeer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating yes they should. my point is how rowd-up some people get over the 48 & 24 teams????? it's kinda of funny.!! i guess maybe some people hate a winner, i don't know....

snapper Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating It depends on who knew and who didn't know. Can't fault the drivers for something the crew chief did without the drivers knowledge. I understand they are a team...but everyone on the team has a job to do. If the driver has no knowledge of the "infraction", not really fair to take away a win. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating It's not like this suff hasn't happened in the past, and Im sure more if it goes on race to race it just gets magnified to a greater extent when it's the winner of the race, that's all. They all push the envolope to it's greatest extent and sometimes it just cost them in the end.....Is it cheating ???? Maybe, Maybe Not....I guess this is determined by the individual theat is looking at it....We'll just have to wait and see what NASCAR calls it..

MichiganHuntr1 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: 48 5 cought cheating You guys know something....during alot of races, cars will end up getting lower. DW said that during some race, sorry, i cant remember which one. Alot of things can cause a race car can lower, without the people noticing. If they did cheat, and they knew about it before the race, then something should be done. Even though Johnson is one of my favorite drivers, its not cool to cheat. So far, no penalties have been announced. Well most likely know Tomorrow or wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
