Anyone know what happened with the #1 team's situation?

Question

i know that martin truex's jr's crew was going to appeal the punishment. does anyone know if anything happened yet?

Answer 1

the appeal did not help. They got caught cheating and deserve the penalties.

Answer 2

Mother Teresa finally got her rear handed to her.

Serves her right for what she done to Jr.

Answer 3

The fines were upheld

• Suspension from NASCAR for the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship events; suspension from NASCAR until Aug. 27, 2008, and probation until Dec. 31, 2008, for team member Gary Putnam.

Answer 4

I just hate it when drivers are penalized for what their moronic crew does.

Answer 5

Penalties were uphelded and weren't taken back.

Answer 6

As with most all of the time everything was upheld.

Answer 7

The funny thing about the whole incident is that nascar put the car into the windtunnel and found that it hurt rather than helped the car. If I was truex jr. I would probably try to find a decent ride. I think even penske might be a better fit than dei right now.

Answer 8

Dont think so but if they had it would have said it on nascars website.

Answer 9

tina got it exactly. the only thing left out was the implied:

* pretty much blew a shot at getting in the top 12, though anything is possible.

;-)

Answer 10

They Upheld the Fines. =(

No Chance at Making the Chase.

This really stinks =(
