Default [nascar] Hendrick wins appeal

well, kinda. suspensions overturned and points overturned. monetary penalties still in place (for charity if i had to guess)

Not a fan of the 48 at ALL, but i think Knaus is a fricken genius. Given what I have heard of all this, I agree with the decision. Think nascar went too far this time.

The same car passed inspection 16 times last year, this was a BS penalty from the start.

Yeh Iam just glad for Gordon...him to take a hit on points right now....yeh not good. He has enough problems this year on his own. He doesn't need the 48 team docking him points too. (He would of been docked owner points cause he owns the 48 team).

Hopefully this next race the Hendrick boys will all finish in the top 10. That would be nice instead of crashes, bad luck, etc.

BEFORE the car hit the track in Daytona, an inspector didnt like the C posts, made them change. Same car that had passed inspection 16 times before and was run in all 4 plate races last year. Knaus suspended for 6 weeks, along with car chief, fined 100k, docked 25 driver and owner points.

lost first appeal to nascar, won second appeal with third party (?) moderator dude.

True...Iam saying for the next race...a strong finish by all 3 drivers would be nice for Hendrick. I messed up....that was suppose to say the 3 of them lol.

Johnson is still in 17th right now even with those 2 good finishes.
Earnhardt is showing up in 6th place but I dunno...I just don't see anything with that team as of right now that shows he has what it takes to win.
Gordon...don't even go there...talk about bad luck! He has had a hell of bunch of runs going but for one reason or the other crap just been happening to that dude.

You do know there are 4 Hendrick teams, right? Does the 5 car ring a bell?

Personally I think the fine should have been tossed as well.
I think the fine stayed so NASCAR can save face by saying see the big guy thinks they did "something". The whole thing was a witch hunt gone wrong. Real bullshit on NASCARS end.

They just threw the book at him b/c of his perceived reputation.
