Inspections Not Fair? One Cup car owner, who preferred not to be named, says it would be interesting for TV to set up cameras in the NASCAR inspection bay, because he says he's skeptical that every car gets a fair shake: "Some cars they don't even put half the body templates on."(Winston Salem Journal)
 
The inspection process is open to every team member in the garage. Inspections, like tear downs after the race, are not closed, but conducted under the watchful eye of any team member in the garage or person with a pit pass.

If a team owner thinks NASCAR is not checking every car with every template, there is more than one team in the inspection area at any given time and everyone has equal opportunity to complain. Why would any car owner complain about a system of open inspection, go running to the media ( guess again, it is the Winston-Salem Journal and must be Mike Mulhern ) and voice their objections about an unfair inspection process??

Hope some of you have an answer because it sounds like bull defecation to me when a team owner (who wishes to remain nameless) complains to the media yet the easiest recourse is to mention the same thing to another team owner or crew chief suggesting they watch the alleged team getting special treatment, go through inspection.
Since inspections are open, it is unimaginable Childress, Roush, Hendrick or Yates or anyone else would stand by in silence if there were a hint of irregularity in the inspection process.
 
It sure is fun to watch who jumps on the band wagon so quickly to point a finger at NA$CA$H though when Mulhern writes something. :)
 
I'm with you, Whizzer. Before the garage areas were limited to hot passes, I'd stand and watch the process. It's open to everyone who wants to watch.

A "nameless" owner who complains through the media is talking through his/her hat.
 
Yep, and I agree!!!!! Just more rumor fodder!!!!

I went to the WSJ website because I wanted to read the entire article. I was unable to find it. Can you provide a link. Thanks.
