Biffle’s car too low in postrace inspection
Quote selected text Published March 25th, 2007 in NASCAR News
The rear end of Greg Biffle’s car, which finished fifth in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, was too low in postrace inspection and the team faces potential penalties for the violation, NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton said Sunday night.
Pemberton said teams were given a quarter-inch tolerance for the rear of the car and Biffle was the only one of the eight cars in postrace inspection who failed. NASCAR will take the car back to its Research and Development Center in North Carolina to determine if there were any extenuating circumstances as to why the car was too low.
“We’ll get back where we have better equipment to look and measure and try to understand it,” Pemberton said. “We want to do everything we can to make the right call.”
NASCAR also will take the car of race-winner Kyle Busch just to see how the car of tomorrow was impacted during the race.

Whats up? Run a car that many miles after passing post race inspection and can you but expect shocks and springs to be weaker and cause the car to be a 1/10 of an inch lower? I think NASCAR gets to picky after the Race that you run a car all those laps and expext the car to be perfect and still measure the same as before the race. Are the inspectors idiots looking for a perfect car after running it four hours and rubbing and beating and banging with other cars on a small track like bristol.I think Nascar is getting to picky about little things and need to tone down on the fines and picking at things that noone has control over,like saying some things were not intenionally done but we will still penalize the team.
Get your heads out of your rears and open your eyes and stop picking on the staraight people and catch the cheators.
They’ve had this practice in place for years. Cars pass inspection all the time. Also the car would have had to be more than 1/4″ too low not 1/10″ like you’re claiming. Also, they didn’t say penalties will be issued, because of it being a COT race they will examine the car to see what the reason for the car failing inspection was before they would consider a penalty. I’m sick of fans always complaining about NASCAR being too picky or not being fair about a process that has always been in place and that the team know about and agree to compete with.
mybe part’s faillure like Jeffy?
I’m glad to see that Roush got cheating AGAIN.
are you saying because Gordon and JJ cheat then Roush should Gary?

how about not being picky enough? Gordon gets a pass right?
