Is this a fair assumption?

Question

JGR got caught "cheating"... The restricted the gas pedal so the dyno results would show a weaker car. The only reason the engines are being tested was because they are making so much HP legally NASCAR feels the need to dock them HP. So in essence, they "cheated" because they are too good for the rest of the competition? If they had worse engine builders, it wouldn't be a problem?

Answer 1

When the old man came back from football he wanted to make a big splash, because coaching didn't work out so well. He came up with the Toyota switch carrying all of the latest and best Chevy dynamo-meter packages with him. France Jr gave Toyota a meatier engine to work off of but warned them from the start that he would not put up with any repeat of what went on in the truck series.

As far as the cheating thing I can't get my mind around a set of magnets, why not a throttle stop? I trust that the plate that Kyle said helped him to win was absent in the guilty parties.

Answer 2

gibbs teams cheat,thats why tony wants out.

Answer 3

bingo. as i answered earlier, having the highest dyno numbers while staying within the nascar engine guidelines used to be a badge of honor. now it is something to be hidden so as to not be branded with a scarlet letter.  

Answer 4

actually you have it wrong. It's not how the engine is built, it's how the engine is designed. That along with the other operating functions of the race car. To be a better "cheater" you must be a little more indepth.

Answer 5

No matter the situation. Never assumes.

It makes an "A$$" out of "U" and "ME"

(ha ha little joke...)  

=D

Answer 6

Interesting for sure, but why???

I just cannot believe it and for sure if Smoke knew it he would surely have come forward, he is a straight up driver, like him or not..

at this point just plain down right STUPID on Gibbs..knowing the drivers are going to have points taken away..Dumb, Dumb, Dumb

They did not have to cheat, they had good cars already, just my opinion

Thanks Rowdy for setting me straight..i thought it was cup and it was the Nationwide Cars..whew!  now i feel better

Answer 7

Face it. NASCAR is like professional wrestling.  It is garbage.

Answer 8

Well, yeah. They have an advantage and they know it. They don't everyone and their mother to know about it and fix it so they are more competitive.

Answer 9

Very good Bob.  We have a winner.    

Answer 10

I think the fair assumption is NASCAR is trying to keep the playing field level. The other manufacturers would fall under the same rules.

Answer 11
