It was no extra brace they altered the shape of the rear window pillor all over except for the exact spot the temp would be placed on the car. That is cheating no to ways around it. JJ is NASCARS golden boy now since jeff gordon can no longer draw a croud
It amazes me how many people that hate NASCAR flock to Nascar posts http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

If the car fits the templates, they should be able to do anything they like the looks of, seems to me. Maybe it was for aero reasons, or maybe it just looked more like a Chevy or was easier to fabricate. NASCAR needs to define the shape of the car better, is what I think. I bet they're working on that, and will have more templates within a month. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif
no idea who Knaus is or really care about nascar but here I am http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif so what happened http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Good the fine is still BS but drop in the bucket for those guys.
How can a car be illegal when NASCAR said 4 times before that car was legal with those c pillars. They had no case and the big guy knew it. And its REALLLY hard to suspend a guy when his so called illegal car never even hit the damn track. He could of just been told to pull the backup instead of all the red tape and crap.
Wow
Nobody mentioned what they thought of Danica Patrick's driving skills and how it influenced any decisions.
You guys are maturing good stuff.

Agree. How can you penalize a team for a car thats been run 3-4 times previously without any issues? Not a big JJ or Knaus fan but this was a bs deal from the start.
Word now is that Hendrick lost a key person over the winter and spilled his guts to NASCAR about that car. Someone was trying to pull some weight and think he could shut down JJ by busting him right there. Well by not following procedure or letting them get through qualifying they lost every bit of leverage they had. Someone in NASCAR trying to play hero again imagine that http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif
I am sad to say Nascar is worse then pro wrestling. I hate it for teams that don't have deep pockets to buy there way out of fines. Although most low budget teams try to follow the rules, unlike the cheat SOB Knaus.

I would like to see the fine money go to some charity, this way I know it is not going to be handed back to Hendricks under the table so there is no complaining. Funny that points were returned, Knaus placed on probation to look like some punishment is in place and still assessed the fine. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif Knaus is either guilty of the infraction or he is innocent, can't be both ways.
The sad fact is that 4 of the 5 if not all 5 of the championships JJ has can be said that the 48 team was cheating. Even worse the car that brought all this about is the "same" car that Chad knaus to JJ to back in to the wall if he won so it didn't have to go to post race inspection. Nascar knew he was cheating. They had no reason to even let that car in the race at Daytona. Chad needs to be thrown out of nascar plain and simple. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif
