Oxygenate completely different from oil.

Unable to prepare the car to practice today.

The additive was in the fuel line/system/cell at some point in time. Not in the intake manifold itself.

Consideration of a more serious penalty? Talked about a lot of different things, not commenting on that.

Taking the car back for insp, will there be other penalties if they find anything. R&D they feel there probably isn't anything else in the car but if there is, they will do something about it.

Has Nascar seen this before........like Nitro Methane, or never seen. Not seen in the recent past.

Are you setting a precedent? This is a team issue not manufacturer. Crossed the line to get in 500.

Have there ever been more severe penalties? One is Talladega Cranifus [sp] team Mayfield 2000 151 points. Fuel related incident.

Any possibility this was accidental? Is there a second questions?? Laughter. Was it jet fuel.NO

How was it discovered? Normal process is take carb off plate off visual reach in for loose parts etc. Hand had a substance on it unlike anything seen before. Not like vaseline, like silicone or something.

Suspensions? Indefinite means very long! When the team wants to apply they will discuss.

Was it dangerous to handle? NO

Very bold attempt? Yes we're all surprised. Everyone knows not to mess around with these things, tires, engine plates etc.

MWR admitted guilt? or Appeal? Always open. It's hard to get an answer who called for this. Two people ejected so far. You don't find this on the street corner.

Toyota says something added to seal manifold to gasket. Sent to lab and it was not a match.

Couldn't resist having a commercial..............
