after 4 years running the champ jimmie johnson has had a bad year one could say 2 weeks ago he dropped to 9th in the points which at that spot is a long shot in the chase, but with 2 top 5's where back in 5th. not so bad of a place aint first but hey theres 10 races left. can jimmie make it 5 in a row or can gordon add another one to the boards, or will 1st place sitter stay put and harvick win his first. i wouldnt mind seeing the number 5 of mark martin a prime veteran who is definitly overdue for a championship, so many close calls yet always missin. its looking to be a good finish this year for the cup. and if your reading this and still havent figured out what im talkin about. well im talking bout nascar, i may be a redneck for watching it but hey arent we all.

That is a tough break for Bowyer.

I don't think NASCAR should be able to confiscate the whole car and take it to their own R&D center. They should have their tech at the track after the race. If a car fails, DQ the car, 2nd place gets the win and the car that is illegal gets 0 points and no prize money.

Allowing the teams some gray area to play around with setups and to try new things would make for better racing.

Totally agree! If the car passed post race inspection(wether it was close to failing or not) then the finish should stand. There is no reason at all to confiscate the car and take it behind closed doors and inspect it for 2 more days. If it fails...you get nodda. I Remember being at Eldora a couple of years ago and Shannon Babb won the World 100. His car was something like 5lbs. too light, and he got nothing and the win went to the second place car.

yea man they have a fine line that they have to be in so if not i think he should be dq with no points in that race they are saying now that if anyone is cought like he was now it is going to be a 200 point deduction from what they all ready have at the begining of the race now thats what espn was talking about last night
