I will admit i dont like Kyle but get serious people there is no badguy here every crewchief tries to get something past nascar thats their job and i dont care who signs their paycheck they all get paid to cheat Chad is just upfront about it look at DEI this year if they wouldnt have had all them blown motors we would be talking about Tony Eury Jr because Dale Jr would be leading the points

*Edit* should read:
“just bescause there is no rule against it, it doesn’t mean it’s NOT against the rules…”

There are NO loop holes any more in NASCAR’s rule book…NASCAR has even said making changes that cross into the “grey” area are a violation because it’s outside what is approved. They’ve busted people time and again saying that “just bescause there is no rule against it, it doesn’t mean it’s against the rules…” if it doesn’t match what IS approved you get penalized, except if you race for Hendrick of course. Cars race around for 4 hours bumping into each other and someone loses 25 championship points because a fender is a 1/4″ too low after the race. Hendrick modifies an intake manifold, a BIG NO-NO no matter when it’s done and they get off scott free. What a joke! Hendrick’s crew cheifs are the numer 1 rule breakers in NASCAR and get busted on SOME stuff but the are the ONLY team that EVER get’s anything over turned on appeal. Chad Kanaus has even publicly admitted he tries to cheat every race and will keep doing something until he gets caught…comments like that should have earned him a life time ban….but he works for Hendrick ofcourse. Teams some times make mistake, Hendrick Motor Sports cheats on purpose…there is a BIG difference.

It will be interesting to see how many Hendrick haters there will be next year when Jr. is driving for them.

I totally agree, Phil, but I don’t think the delusional Hendrick Haters will see things the same way. They’ll tell you that Hendrick dropped some cash on NASCAR and they made the penalty go away or some other absurd theory.

I didn’t mean I was surprised that they overturned this penalty in particular, more that they overturned a penalty at all… It seems so rare that NASCAR admits they could be wrong and corrects it, especially as far as penalties are concerned.

The penalty that Kyle Busch received was a joke. If you read the article then you will know why. There is not a team out that doesn’t push the limit to get the upper hand on the competition. There are rule loop holes, limits as to how far you can push these things. No one needs to hate on any team if present in the right way and the rule infraction did not actually take place then it would have been turned over for anyone.

Heh. Paging all Hendrick haters! If this isn’t hater-bait I don’t know what is. Sounds like they probably were messing in a very subjective area, knowing darn good and well that it was so iffy. I can’t believe a penalty actually got overturned.
