Whats next? <BR/><BR/>If it isnt Nascar favors Gordon, its Nascar favors Johnson, or Nascar favors Stewart, or Nascar favors this or that and that. <BR/><BR/>Fuck me what a headache. <BR/><BR/>"If there was no wrongdoing, why would he have done this??"<BR/><BR/>To make sure there were no problems with Nascar. YOu have an owner who is hearing this story, he has no idea whats going on so he is making sure there are no problems with the only people that matter. <BR/><BR/>Now lets see what else...<BR/><BR/><BR/>" I find it very very suspicious that Harvick's sponsor, GM Goodwrench was rumored to be leaving RCR and now all of a sudden Kev's on a tear, rip, overnight sensation."<BR/><BR/>Harvick had won 2 races before this story was brought out in August. Not to mention that was a rumor last year that GM Goodwrench doesnt want to shell out 20 mil a year for a sponser. <BR/><BR/>"Anybody that doesn't believe the RCR cars were tricked up should go back and watch the race and listen to the commentators describing what his car was doing. "<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jesus you make it seem like a car has never dominated a race before. Yeah real miraculous that a car can lead a lot of laps!! STOP THE PRESSES. <BR/><BR/><BR/>This is what will happen tommorow. Dilner will completly backtrack his story and apologize to save face. The only person out of all this that has something to lose is Dilner. He has the potential to be a major scapegoat and ruin his entire carrer over this. <BR/><BR/>Personally I could care less, I dont like him, I think hes a terrible on-air personality with an annoying voice....but what else is new in Nascar.

I find it very very suspicious that Harvick's sponsor, GM Goodwrench was rumored to be leaving RCR and now all of a sudden Kev's on a tear, rip, overnight sensation.<BR/><BR/>As for Bowyer, who successfully took out two Chase contenders last Sunday, I doubt his car was inspected, and he actually was found with illegal rims in a Busch race about 6 weeks ago.<BR/><BR/>Harvick mentions the wheels are already mounted on the rims and delivered to the track so how could anyone lazer cut them. What he didn't say is that the rims are already identified to team/driver, and after they are delivered the team writes on each one of them with Chalk where each tire goes on the car and which tire change. For him to bluff that they can't be played with after they are delivered is ludicrous.<BR/><BR/>Harvick isn't championship material but it doesn't matter, he won't win the Cup. Like Smoke, Harvick's wreckless impatient style will get him in the end.

It was very precise and as mentioned elsewhere, even had the measurement of how much the wheel rims had been shaved down. His report Sunday night said there was no violation, but NASCAR told RCR not to bring these rims back in the future.<BR/><BR/>Could it be that NASCAR wanted to quell this controversary as soon as they could? Afterall, it would certainly cast doubts on Kevin Harvisk leading in both Cup and Busch points. Not to mention, it would certainly taint the chase. <BR/><BR/>Didn't I also read earlirer in the week that Richard Childress checked TWICE with NASCAR on Monday to see if they had any concerns with RCR?<BR/><BR/>If there was no wrongdoing, why would he have done this??<BR/><BR/>This all sounds ver suspicious to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
