Hilarious. WRC, F1, and now Nascar, way to go Toyota!
Scumbags.

I don’t think you can judge Toyota based on this, because there are 5 or 6 other Toyota teams that didn’t have any “substance” on their car. This is Michael Waltrip’s team and Waltrip’s team only. Even though they share engines, each team does their own preperation.

It’d be nice if someone’d tell us what the substance is/was,

Both Casey kane and Matt Kenseth faced the same fines/punishment but of different reasons (aero/chassis reasons). The only reason waltrips car was impounded was due to the unknown fuel additive. He would be able to race if his backup car past inspection.
They aren’t a new team this season they ran dodges last year. Both of the other two crew chiefs are suspended as well as fined. The car hasn’t been to the R&D lab because this happened Tuesday and they are in florida. I suspect the car is there by now.

Good points, you’re right.
According to reports I’ve read, the “substance” was an oxygenate; a component similar to what is found in jet fuel. In simple terms the susbtance is supposed to be pulled in through the fuel and allows the fuel to increase octane, thereby allowing the engine to run better and gain horsepower.
