Johnson gets away again

It looks like Johnson not only gets to keep his win, but gets away with not even being fined for the shock deal at Dover.  For those who haven't heard, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch both failed their initial post-race inspection at Dover, their cars were too high.  After about a half an hour, the cars settled enough to pass inspection.  Huh?  Since when are cars given extra time and second chances during post-race inspection?  I guess only if you're Jimmie Johnson. 

NASCAR took their shocks and shocks of the two Penske cars and two Roush cars to compare and inspect.  No fines, no nothing, except they might come out with a new shock rule.  No word on what the wording of the new rule will be, but they are expected to come out with it soon.

They basically said they technically didn't cheat, they just used the shock in a way that it's not intended to be used.  They also went on to say that the shocks were within the rules, hence no penalty.  But it's enough to come out with a new shock rule.

I'm sorry, it's just plain wrong.  It's not fair to the other nine teams in the Chase, nor to the other drivers in the race.  Johnson and Busch were allowed to get away with it.  No offense to Johnson fans, but it sure looks like NASCAR has their favorite for the Championship picked out.
