UPDATE: NASCAR has issued penalties to the #18 team that competes in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as a result of a rule infraction found last Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The #18 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-I (any determination by NASCAR officials that the race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8 1B (the height of the car at the left front fender did not meet the required specification; too low in post-race inspection) of the 2009 NASCAR rule book. Crew chief Steve Addington has been fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Driver Kyle Busch and car owner Joe Gibbs have been penalized 25 championship driver and 25 championship owner points, respectively.(NASCAR PR)(9-22-2009)
 
Oh you guys are so mean to Kyle Busch, why don't you guys just lay off. I am tired of you guys running your mouths about Kyle Busch. He is the greatest driver, and man he sure can act his age and tear up guitar shaped trophies. Kyle has feelings too. Please stop being mean to Kyle, you big bad meany NASCAR.

Sure picked a weird time to cheat, after the Chase started.

Hey BP, check to see if this is Andy. :cool:
 
A statement from Joe Gibbs Racing: "The situation was caused when the left front spring became dislodged. This resulted in the left front corner of the car to be lower and resulted in a change to the car's handling which had to be compensated for during the race. Consequently, the car measured low during post-race inspection. We accept NASCAR's ruling on the issue today."(JGR PR)(9-23-2009)

Gibbs was always good at giving a reason.
 
You really have to give the Gibbs engineers (slide rule not choo choo:D) a pat on the back. They figured out how to have a spring dislodge during the race thereby lowering the car to gain a unfair aero advantage resulting in a top 5 finish.

A very gracious reply from them, I just wonder how it would have been worded if it was a 25th place finish,,,,,
