Illegal post-inspection modifications...tsk, tsk, tsk.



Earnhardt Jr.'s Car Impounded by NASCAR: Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway hasn't been perfect for Dale Earnhardt Jr. after all. The #5 car Earnhardt will drive in Saturday's Nationwide Series opener was impounded by NASCAR on Thursday night after officials discovered the team altered the spoiler to create an aerodynamic advantage following inspection. The car was returned on Friday morning minus the trunk lid and spoiler, repaired and sent back through inspection. It will be allowed to run in the race. Joe Balash, the Nationwide Series director, said further sanctions against the team and crew chief Chad Walter will be issued on Tuesday. NASCAR officials considered sending Walter home because the offense was considered blatant, but opted to hold off on what could result in a suspension.(ESPN.com)(2-15-2008)
 
what isnt noted is that it was without hendrick or JRM consent. Team officials said the CC will face internal restrictions in addition to NASCAR fines.
 
I dont care about this as long as it doesn't have to do with Jeffie.
 
When Dale was interviewed before q'ing, he was teeth-gritting angry. He may not have said anything, but you could tell he was furious.

I have a feeling someone is going to feel some pain over this.
 
Tony Eury Sr., the competition director at JR Motorsports, said Earnhardt and Hendrick weren’t “too happy” with what happened. He said the company could take action against Walter on top of what NASCAR does.

Walter is done! It was a stupid move on a car that didn't need "fixing"
 
I think Jr should be used to it by now. After all they got Tony Jr last year a couple of weeks before they got Knouse and Letarte.:D
