A small piece of tape on front end under the wrap. Normal NASCAR would of fined the team, not taken away the win. NASCAR’s policy for decades was to not change winning after the fans went home, guess there’s a new sheriff in town 🤣

How ridiculous... Did he forget to use someone’s preferred pronouns?

[Red Badger]

It can and will be appealed......................

Nascar lost me a few years ago with the constant rule changes and then the wokeness. Watched a little the other day and it’s even close to the same. Sad to watch this sport go by the wayside.

NASCAR died 20 years ago. What it is now is unrecognizable from the halcyon days in 1990

[McGruff]

It was the M&M’S FAN APPRECIATION 400. I’m surprised Kyle Bush wasn’t given the win somehow.

[Red Badger]

He as DQ’d as well.................

Moran said the inspection “rules have tightened up” with the introduction this season of a new car. NASCAR’s newest version is pretty much a kit car. Teams get all the same pieces from varying vendors and have detailed instructions regarding how to put it together.

I visited a number of garages around Mooresville, NC over a decade ago.

Even then, there were only a couple parts of the car that were authentic to the advertised car model.

Any resemblance to an actual Toyota, Chevrolet or Ford is purely superficial and graphical.

Someone must’ve referred to the car as, ‘She’ when she identifies as a ‘He!’

All cars are female. Everyone knows that. The ‘science’ is settled!

*SNORT*

All ships, aircraft and automobiles are referred to as ‘she’....................

[Roadrunner383]

Well, as the old saying goes “If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’ “.

As meticulous as the teams have to be in assembling and preparing these cars, if something is out of place, even if it is something just taped over, it probably is cheating.

I prefer DTM myself. Just sayin’...

These new-this-season cars have areas teams aren’t supposed to even touch. They did that and more. No one yet knows exactly what, but it couldn’t have happened to a more charming pair of drivers. /s

Gibbs Racing did NOT appeal the decision by the Monday noon deadline — they knew they were cheatin’

[Red Badger]

🤔👍....................................

They must be. Beau has a whole list of, ‘female expletives’ he uses when working on his truck, LOL!

[nascarnation]

They modified the contour of the front wheel flares on the bodywork. Supposedly that can make a big difference in drag. Of course at Pocono with the 3700 ft straightaway a significant deal.

My question is:

What did the 2” x 5” piece of tape on either side of the front facia (and under the vinyl wrap...) do to the handling/speed of the cars? It was 0.012” thick, so how did it change the aero effects.

That is the mystery.

NOOSECAR is the apex of liberalism where everyone has to be the same.
