JGR given stiff penalties in Nationwide Series infractions
When it was heard about the possibly trying to cheat the dyno testing after the Michigan Nationwide race, everyone thought NASCAR would come down hard for the blatant cheating and they were right.
Seven members of the #18 and #20 JGR teams were indefinitely suspended, additionally, both crew chiefs were fined $50,000 and all crew members for both teams were put on probation. Joey Logano and Tony Stewart were each docked 150 driver points and Joe Gibbs lost 150 owner points for each car.
I knew NASCAR was upset when they used the word blatant after finding out about what happened, so I figured the penalties would be steep and they were. Why the teams did this is unknown, unless they weren't complying with Toyota engine rules that were handed down.
It will definitely be interesting to see how the cars do at Bristol this week without key members of the teams.
Your thoughts?

Comments
Kari * Graceann -- I was SO yelling at my TV last night. Sob! Kasey's got New Hamshit and Richmond to TRY and recover from last night. Given the bonehead move by Jr, Bowyer's troubles, Burton's bounce and Stewart's uh, lackluster run, maybe Kahne can break back into contention if more weird stuff happens.
Barb, exactly!! Pickashithead winner! I invoked the Almighty to PLEASE take evasive action! Edwards, Shrub, Hamlin ... LOL
I'm so glad Shrub didn't win. Can't wait to read the comments about his pansyass bumpin on Carl.
And again, what the hell was Jr thinkin'!!!
Argh!

Thank you G-d

hope Mears doesn't take his spotter with him to RCR next year.
Posted by: Kari |
We're saying the same thing in our Jeff B. forum.
I thought Kyle's comment about Mr. Ed was funny. I'm sure Carl's heard it before.
Several years ago, a driver said, "Here Chevy, Chevy, Chevy." I'm 97% sure it was Kurt Busch when he was driving for Roush.

Hell, the damn race is on again on ESPN2, I don't think I can watch KK get slammed again. Once was enough. That's all they said is "Kahne is out of the Chase right now". Who the hell does Marty Smith think he is? Where the hell did he get that hair? What's its called a pompadour? duck-tail? Whatever it's out of style. He said he predicted 2 weeks ago Kahne would fall out of the chase. I hope KK comes back with a vengeance. I know I am reaching for the stars but who cares.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 24, 2008 12:40:47 AM
Aggie - I ditto Kari's comment about kitty-kitty-kitty. And Tony did back up his mouth.
Thanks Kari.
I think the rivalry between KyB and Mr. Ed might not be as big as the rivalry between their owners. One cheated and the other is a tattle tale. And the tattle taler cheated earlier in the season. I love Fords but I don't like their powerful NASCAR owner.

That "you reap what you sow" comment is crazy. A) It's racing. B) It's racing AT BRISTOL, for pete's sakes.
Posted by: Kari | Aug 24, 2008 12:31:47 AM
if i had it to do over again i might hit him harder, he knows why i did it he does it to me.
carl on tv

That way, when the racing sucks, we can look forward to some juvenile and idiotic antics at the end!
I can't believe JPM made it out of there in one piece, all the jacking around with the leaders he did.
Posted by: Kari
lol
two good points
lol
at least carl doesn't go hide in the corner.
carl kicked ky's ass big time tonight.
Posted by: exile on 14/39 street | Aug 24, 2008 12:27:49 AM
yeah
funny as hell... 2 millionaires fightin it out.
at the press conference carl said at a nw race earlier this year ky had a faster car and came up on carl and slamed the hell out of him and knocked him up the track to pass him.
after the race kyle told carl... i had a faster car.
tonight after the race jd gibbs tracked carl down to say... YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
carl said, that's why it happened like it did.
haha
another christian guilt trip, does it ever end ??
i'm gettin sick of gibbs big we are saved bullshit. get over yourselves for christ's sake. have a beer. get your pompus head outta your pompus asses.
Posted by: exile on 14/39 street | Aug 24, 2008 12:24:06 AM
Did CE say Gibbs said, You reap what you sow? WOW, His drivers are no where near innocent. I sure didn't expect that.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 24, 2008 12:20:30 AM
Aggie,
First, Tony was BEHIND Harvick when he said that so chasing Harvick down would require Tony to back up his mouth. Second, Tony is a two-time Cup champion. Carl won a JV championship--AFTER he'd been racing full-time in Cup for a few years. Who do YOU respect more? It's a no-brainer for me.
Posted by: Kari | Aug 24, 2008 12:19:40 AM
Bowyer should keep his mouth shut...and ESPN should vet the radio transmission BEFORE they air it. They were stupid to air that bit--I bet Napa appreciated it. *snark*
"Pick-a-shithead wins"--okay, now I can go to bed with a smile on my face! Thanks, Barb!!
I thought Kyle's comment was funny too. It's about time we get a good rivalry going. That way, when the racing sucks, we can look forward to some juvenile and idiotic antics at the end!
I can't believe JPM made it out of there in one piece, all the jacking around with the leaders he did.

dianne
when he asked Osborne if he should slow down and play with Kyle a little
come on smoke was funny doing it to kev last year hear kitty kitty lol rememebr that
kyb should prevail in this battle of dim wits
Posted by: aggie | Aug 24, 2008 12:15:38 AM
barb g
These pick-a-shithead wins are sickening.
no kidding

for a little weasel who looks like a penishead calling a guy mr ed is kinda 3rd grade.
ok lol so when does carl call him pee wee herman?? or do a kyb peewee herman impersonation
exile i've always said these drivers read this blog as wasnt i calling carl mr ed last year?? and knew some would eventually spews it out
2 nice jerks heating things up for the chase lol
Posted by: aggie | Aug 24, 2008 12:11:59 AM
They are interviewing CE on espn2 live right now.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 24, 2008 12:07:41 AM
Graceann - I was surprised when I heard what Knaus said.
Barb G - Robby cant buy a break this year. I would have been much happier with a 29 win too.
Bowyer needs to keep his mouth shut until he finds out who really caused the wreck.
Posted by: Diane | Aug 24, 2008 12:06:44 AM
Barb, I was hoping something would take the #11 out. I'm like you though, a different winner would be nice.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 24, 2008 12:05:27 AM
Thanks Diane, I felt bad for the #9 team. They really bust their rears for KK & KF.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 24, 2008 12:03:10 AM
Congrats to the #99 team tonight for winning at Bristol.
Jr didn't have the finish he planned, but he had thwe brain fart on the start so he couldn't blame it on anyone else. Fortunately for him Burton and Johnson had worse luck then him and he actually move back up one stop to 3rd in points.
Posted by: Jon | Aug 24, 2008 12:02:01 AM
I have a sneaky feeling that spotter won't be moving with Casey, Kari. I'm bummed because the #7 car was the filling in the dang sandwich.
I was hoping the #18, #99 and #11 would take each other out. I was ready for a #29 win for a change. These pick-a-shithead wins are sickening.
Posted by: Barb G | Aug 23, 2008 11:59:00 PM
Did you hear Knaus comment, My driver can't drive Bristol and I can't set-up a car for Bristol? What??? Way to pump up your driver.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 23, 2008 11:58:53 PM
I really dislike Mr. Ed, so I thought KyB's comment was funny. I turned against Carl big time last week when he asked Osborne if he should slow down and play with Kyle a little. His arrogance turns me off.
Sorry to all the All-State gals.
Posted by: Diane | Aug 23, 2008 11:58:51 PM
good question graceann.
wth was jr thinking. maybe it's time for jr to mature somewhat. at least at "work" anyway.
Posted by: exile on 14/39 street | Aug 23, 2008 11:52:52 PM
yes aggie
for a little weasel who looks like a penishead calling a guy mr ed is kinda 3rd grade.
when carl pulls back on ky will he stop like he did with matt or just give him a big fat lip ??
Posted by: exile on 14/39 street | Aug 23, 2008 11:49:29 PM
What the hell was Jr. thinking?
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 23, 2008 11:48:01 PM
Yea Aggie,He did call CE Mr. Ed!
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 23, 2008 11:47:13 PM
ganne
yeah i loved how fast cb slammed mw
nice run by the 07 29
the 31 and 88 are fading fast
its the 99-18 championship and dont rule out the 29-20 as spoilers
Posted by: aggie | Aug 23, 2008 11:42:22 PM
exile or anyone
was it me and did i hear kyle call carl mr ed after the race??
those 2 hate each other!!
Posted by: aggie | Aug 23, 2008 11:40:22 PM
Would Kyle have done that?....ABSOLUTELY!!!
Anyone who doesn't think so is delusional.
THE BUMP AND RUN IS BACK AT BRISTOL!!!!!
What a race!
Posted by: Joe | Aug 23, 2008 11:37:46 PM
ky continues to be a classless little piece of shit.
Posted by: exile on 14/39 street | Aug 23, 2008 11:36:55 PM
#9 team busted their arses til 90 something laps left to try and get that damn thing back on the track. Not one sour word came out of KK or KF against Mears or the spotter, CB blamed Waltrip.
Posted by: Graceann | Aug 23, 2008 11:08:00 PM
I hope Mears doesn't take his spotter with him to RCR next year.
Posted by: Kari | Aug 23, 2008 10:25:25 PM
Crap, Crap, Crap!!!! I would say worse but it won't help.

exile you should rent one of mccains houses and take a week there??
"The line about John McCain having to worry about which of his seven kitchen tables to sit at and sort out the bills is what Biden does brilliantly'

holy cow...

seven houses ??

"I'm certain all 150 million orphans in the world wish there were more people like the McCains who reached out and gave one of them a home."
really, admit it... you don't give a shit about orphans.
this is just another story for you to repeat to try to sound smart.
at the same time you would bag on pitt and jolie for being one of them libs in hollywood.
meanwhile the truth is the mccains would lie about a little child and a personal event like adoption to try to get points with suckers like YOU.

Didn't Jack Roush complain a few days ago about not having enough money to compete with Toyota? Seems he has a lot of money if he can afford to do this that was on Jayski today:
"Question: As you look for ways to find an advantage, are you sending cars to Germany to test at the Audi wind tunnel?
Roush: We've searched the world for resources and for help with our programs and you do have it right, the best wind tunnel that we've found in the entire world is the Audi wind tunnel in Stuttgart and we go over there whenever we can and test, hopefully with our competitors not knowing what we're up to, but from time to time we're in Stuttgart and have more confidence in the data and get things that are more representative of what happens on the race track at that wind tunnel than anyplace in the world."
