Quote selected text Published July 12th, 2008 in NASCAR News
NASCAR confiscated the brake calipers from the Roush Fenway Racing car of Carl Edwards following the Nationwide Series Dollar General 300 Friday night at Chicagoland Speedway.
The calipers were not on NASCAR’s list of approved parts, a NASCAR spokesman said late Friday night. Edwards finished 16th.
Any penalties would be announced next week.

WELL THIS SEEMS PRETTY CUT AND DRY THERE IS A LIST ROUSH KNEW THESE WERE UNAPPROVED PARTS LETS SEE HOW MUCH COMPLAING ROUSH DOES NOW BOUT THE TOYOTAS SEESM TO ME HE SHOULD FOCUS IN MORE ON HIS TEAM AND EVERYONE ELSE
I bet Roush complains like he did about that
intake manifold a few years ago
And lets not forget how he went on about that magic sway bar.
Surprise Surprise. Roush get’s caught again, but it’s Toyota that
is cheating.
exactly… because toyota is nascars pimp, and they just get looked over when roush puts a part on and gets caught on a part that only he cant use but toyo probably can
I was actually being sarcastic. Jack is always the one yelling
Toyota is cheating but now this is the second time this year
one of his teams has been caught.
I don’t think they were trying to cheating, just someone messing up using a part that hasn’t been stamped by NASCAR yet
It’s not one of the first times that they have been caught.
Unless this turns out like where Nascar tried to get
Hendrick over a part last year that they claimed wasn’t
approved but then Hendrick was able to prove it was and that they had
been racing that part all year.

No, the way these things work you either order the approved part or you order the un-approved part, and you hope to get away with it.
There is no messing up to it, NASCAR puts out a list of approved parts with the part number, anytime there is a change NASCAR publishes and addendum to the rulebook to show that change, and it gets handed out to ALL teams with a Cup License (or whatever series it is for).
MAYBE ROUSH SHOULD CHEAT ON MAKING THE CARS GO FASTER AND NOT SLOWING THEM DOWN
Hahaha Rowdy Bush! Maybe they all need to figure out the extra torque that Toyota has made with their engines!
Toyota is the least of Ford’s problems, Chevy and even Dodge is making more HP/Torque then Ford….. l0l
