The answer to this may be here somewhere, but, here is my questions.

Almirola passes inspection, he is on the line fixing to start the race, Chad Little and an official look at the car and decide "They do not like what they see" and make Almirola start at the rear.

With all the hoops these guys go through to get the car OK'd to start, how does this Happen?

Second: Does anyone here know what it was they found on the car that "They did not like"?
 
Atleast his penalty was warranted.

#48 team shoulda gone postal.
 
They were pointing/fondling the RR corner transition. Fattest team member probably bumped into it after inspection...accidently of course.:D

Just a few months ago, the shoe was on the other foot for Almirola. He defended himself for racing Matt DiBenedetto hard late at Pocono Raceway when they were mid-pack, which ended with DiBenedetto spinning Almirola after the checkered flag and confronting him on pit road.

“I guess he thought that I shouldn’t race for 25th,” Almirola said at the time. “I race for every spot all race long; I don’t care if it’s for 25th or for the lead. I guess he thought I should have let him finish 25th, and I wasn’t going to do that.

“I passed him in the Tunnel Turn on the last lap, and he said I took his line away from him and he was upset about it. I don’t know. I hate it for him that he didn’t finish 25th, but it’s called racing.”

I am going to give the young man a pass on his comment after the race at Texas and chalk it up to big time frustration with the whole day, but, if he does it again then I am all for telling him to STFU and race.
 
****** awesome.....millions on OSS, and some official walks by the car, and says, "That's ****** up, you are going to the rear." This is just awesome. How can anybody take this seriously? This just in....NASCAR to stop using OSS, but they are keeping the tent, and putting that eagle eye official in it. Greedy getting greedier. OSS made for Ford, but that wasn't enough for Mr. Get Out of My Way This Advantage is My Only Shot At Ever Winning The Cup.
