Default Michael Waltrip's NASCAR drama discussion

I can't freakin' believe this. It's not bad enough that other sports are using steroids, but now this? C'mon already.

Did he even know this was going on? It's hard to tell.

And I already know that all those die-hard emotional NASCAR fans are going to rip into me for this, but oh well.

Dude...where you been...Nascar racers have said for years "if you aint cheating then you aint trying." They always try to find grey areas within the rules to try to get the advantage. My driver's (Kasey Kahne) crew chief apparently got caught cheating as well. Michael Waltrip's crew'sattempt at getting an edge was a pretty stupid try though. Being an avid nascar fan what I've come to learn is that even the minutest infraction can cause Nascar Officials to overeact. Go Kasey! (even though your 50 points in the hole)

Yup me too. He's WAS actually my favorite, but from reading more into it, it looks like he may not have known and is just taking the fall for his team mates.

Mikey has always seemed like an honest guy to me. I agree he's just taking the fall. He owns all three of the Toyota teamsrunning in Nascar this year, so you can bet Toyota's not too happy with their debut.

It makes you wonder if Toyota paid one of the crew members off to add some "special sauce" to the cars for their premier [&o]

I'm glad Mikey qualified for the Daytona.
