Junior and his crew chief are their own worst enemy,if Junior doesnt spin the tires he probably wins this race,and its not the first time he's made a mistake on the track that a driver of his caliber is suppossed to make,and his crew chief never seems to make the right call in critcal situations,at least thats how it appears to me,just my opinion

Well he won that race in Daytona by not taking a pit and all most won the Daytona 500 by holding off taking a pit. I'm not sure if that is really his problem.

JR. might have won that race on Sunday. Carl Edwards failed post race inspection...something about oil cover not being there. Don't know if they will strip him of the win, but if they do, Dale Jr. becomes the winner.

NASCAR has issued penalties and fines to the No. 99 team that competes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as a result of rule infractions found last Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The No. 99 car driven by Carl Edwards was found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used do not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-2.1J (any device or duct work that permits air to pass from one area of the interior of the car to another, or to the outside of the car, will not be permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, the inside of the car to the trunk area, or the floors, firewalls, crush panels and wheel wells passing air into or out of the car) of the 2008 NASCAR rule book. The violations were found during post-race inspection at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 2.
As a result, Edwards and car owner Jack Roush have been penalized 100 championship driver and 100 championship owner points, respectively. In the event the 99 team qualifies for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, the team will not receive the 10 bonus points for the UAW-Dodge 400 victory used for determining the Chase seeding order. Crew chief Bob Osborne has been fined $100,000, suspended from the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, suspended from NASCAR until April 30 and placed on probation until Dec. 31.

I think they should take the win away...from anyone found illegal after these sort of things...it doesn't make sense. I mean if they took Vanessa William's crown away.....

I think so too. Although I admit I want him to have his win taken away cause I want to see Hendricks Motorsports win. (Dale Jr. came in 2nd.)

I hate all the inconsistency with the rules in NASCAR....it's something different every week it seems. Next week they may come out and take someone's win away for something illegal post race...but you never know....this crew chief gets fined $50,000....this one gets $100,000....this one only gets $25,000...it's nuts!!!
