NASCARs newest manufacturer has been nailed for cheating on the #55 car.

First they reported the use of Sterno…now it sounds like Jet fuel?

silly imports trying to play with the BIG 3?!?!?!

🤣

I was listening to 103.3 when they were talking about some driver getting busted for a foreign substance in the IM (in restrictor plate applications) but it wasn’t really cheating but circumventing the rules (via loophole) which they then plugged from then on.

Get away with whatever you can until they close the loopholes.

cheating = innovation :tup:

Toyota got dinged harder than the Evernham and Rouch teams that were penalized. Almost double :eek:

Maybe Mike should threaten to have his brother break into Bill France, Jr.'s house and scream “BOOGETY-BOOGETY-BOOGETY” at the top of his lungs every night from 10pm-5am until his old car gets reinstated 🙂

That would speed up the appeal process for sure.

Speaking of appeal process, I thought if the teams appeal, they would still be allowed to compete if the appeals board didn’t meet and decide on the appeal by Thursday?

The Toyota name will be a target of officials all season.

Every top team in every race series manipulates the rules or flat out cheats. Its a part of racing.

Also, there are no true “factory” efforts as you see in formula 1. Teams are affiliated and supported by the manufacturers, but "Toyota " didnt cheat. A team that builds these archaic machines that just happens to have a toyota emblem on the hood got caught doing what they always do.

I doubt it considering they handed out fines/suspensions to multiple teams/brands.

im not sure. we went with the [racetickets.com](http://racetickets.com) package again. we bought the pit passes last year for like 90$ a piece iirc. the [racetickets.com](http://racetickets.com) package comes with a hotel (forgot which one, but its across the street from universal), about an hr from the track. they charter like 15 greyhounds from the hotel to the track. comes with a dufflebags full of shit, food, etc. not too shabby.
