Aug 18, 2008 at 9:48 AMWell what I can't understand... is why they didn't keep the nationwide report under wraps until the end of this race.. so that if the little magnet thing was in the JGR then it would still be there... raise your hands on those that think it is still there... besides I dont think Nascar really wanted to find it in the cup 18, although it was there in the nationwide... or mouths would of been shut until now.

Aug 18, 2008 at 10:02 AMIf Toyota or Gibbs racing has been cheating then I think Nascar has to take serious action against them. Edwards lost 10 bonus points for nothing he knew about. Maybe the 18 Sprint car needs points deducted.

Aug 18, 2008 at 12:29 PMThe magnets weren't found during "post race inspection", they were found when the cars were submitted to Nascar for the dyno test. The magnets weren't used in the race because they wouldn't have the horsepower advantage then. They were put in before the cars went for the mandatory dyno test, to try and show they had less horsepower.

Aug 18, 2008 at 4:56 PMWhen is NASCAR going to let them race again?
Report as AbuseIt's turning into IROC. I see the day in the future when NASCAR will tell you which car you will drive and then they will put on the decals.
Let'em race and if they find more horsepower, let the others catch up. That's the way it used to be and I miss it!

Aug 19, 2008 at 12:55 AMIt is sure strange whenever"Fords" do well that something always comes up. Look at the first year of the "Chase" Rousch had 5 of the 10 cars in it! What happened??? "No owner in 2009 can have more than 4 race teams. Sunday at Michigan Fords did well again. How many Fords are going for the dino check? How many Chevrolets? How many Dodges? And how many Toyota's?
