All these other guys that have had penalties have failed and fixed their cars before actually racing them... failing POST race inspection is a whole other deal, he was racing with an illegal car that gave him an advantage no matter how slight. Some of you are saying so what, but if this was Jimmie or Jeff Gordon that won with this infraction coming after their win, you would all be saying they need their win taken away and to be fined big time blah blah blah. Why the double standard? Its now being realized that HMS isn't the only ones who try to get around the rules now and then huh? Its just getting harder now to cover your tracks and come up with different excuses other than "it was an honest mistake"... that has been used on just about every penalty so far this year, and its never the fault of the crew, its always someone else's fault.. lmao All I know is that he better get penalized just like everyone else if not more.

There is a difference between the meanings of the words "Never" & "Not Likely". Here is a small update on this from a friend of mine who watches that NASCAR This week or whatever its called now on SPEED. Carl said the bolt that held the lid on backed out and that is why the lid was off. Bob I never said they will never take one back, I said they are not Likely too now.

Number 1, when I spoke of hand me downs, I was refferring to the old car and then now he(Truex) is getting the equipment Jr would have. Number 2, There is no need to type in all caps all the time. It does nothing for the post iteself, and can be rather annoying to read. Also, caps are used in EMPHASIZING a word or statement, NOT a whole paragraph. Not trying to be rude or correct you. Just stating that it is kinda standard that we don't always wrtie in caps for those reasons, maybe more. =) Number 3, I think its offensive to say that "Jr nation" are the ONLY one's who throw/threw things on a track. First, that is not a true statement. I think every person there that had something to throw did so because of the bad call Nascar and its officials made. The next time that I know of it happening was probably a follow up to the growing disatisfaction and obvious bias that is happening in the sport. So if you catergorize people, make sure you know who you are talking about. I saw many different shirts and colors of teams/drivers throwing things. Its almost like it was "when in Rome". It was funny as hell, but totally wrong to do. I have never seen the major discord that people have had so finally blown into the open. And, really, as some stated here before, people can send their throughts, gripes, complaints ,etc all they want. Nascar never responds to the people. I guess they thought that was finally their way to get them to "hear them". Wrong as it was, that's what I got from it. For ME personally, I would NEVER throw anything at a track, car, or person, etc. That is completely immature and dangerous. Your being irresponsible in your statement and making it appear that all Jr fans are unruly, trashy, ignorant people. That comment was disrespectful to many people, fans or not. Howie…
