From what I'v seen the main stream media are abunch of dumbass's. Fox News has been saying that Scandel has rocked NASCAR and has thrown the entire history down the drain. Other News outlets have said that Toyota should pull there support of MWR and how can NASCAR let this go on and what are they teaching the children.

Well I got something to say to everyone that dosen't know anything about racing. Cheating will alway's go on in NASCAR and any other sport hell even school children cheat. I have heard a Busch Series Mechanic say that it is the Team's job to cheat and to push the rule's it's NASCAR's job to catch us.

Brian France has even said that cheating will always go on, But now it just got more Expensive$$$$$$$. So whatever MWR did or didn't do it's over and done with everyone can move on now because it's time for the DAYTONA 500.
 
You made a whole bunch of sense there..ummm
 
That's why I rarely believe what the "mainstream" media has to say about our sport. I doubt that many of them could identify a camshaft if it bit them on the butt.

Made plenty of sense to me. I listened to a number of local talk shows and national media outlets blow this whole thing out of proportion. Flapping their gums about something they have no clue about. I heard one dip insist to Jeff Hammond during an interview that what happened with Mikey's team is just as bad as Shawne Merriman taking freakin steriods. And if I hear another jackass news jocky refer to it as jet fuel I am going to get sick.
 
I guess you would know, i only listen/read articles worth my time, like on ESPN and those type of media.

Brian Williams and MSNBC have actually been pretty good.

I take nothing that FOX News, oops I'm sorry, FOX Noise reports seriously. I wish somebody would slap these FOX Nothing Channel idiots in the face...

Especially when you consider the manner in which he won the other two.

I know some of the "mainstream" media reports I've heard are calling it a huge scandal.
 
Ah, yes, scandal.

Like NASCAR removing the entire fuel cell from Smokey Yunick's car. They didn't find anything, so Smokey got in the car and DROVE OFF to the garage.

Now, THAT was cheating. LOL

I'd love to see someone with the mentality of Smokey back on the track.

"Scandal" puts NASCAR exactly where it wants

Excerpt --- I like this comparison

Time for some perspective. Restrictor-plate cars are the most specialized in NASCAR, with a tighter inspection process and certain parts used only on the big tracks at Daytona and Talladega. Every year, crew chiefs are busted for flirting with the outside of that heavily policed box. Plenty of them. Prior to the 2001 Daytona 500, NASCAR penalized 18 crew chiefs -- current VP of competition Robin Pemberton among them -- in one day.

But now there's a "scandal," or so it's been tagged by one of the largest media contingents ever to cover a Daytona 500. No matter that similar infractions are unearthed almost every year. No matter that the only difference between this Speedweeks and that of 2001 is a more heavy-handed NASCAR response. The news isn't that teams skirt the rules -- it's that NASCAR is finally hammering them for doing it.

Granted, the illegal fuel additive allegedly found in Michael Waltrip's car is a different animal, the kind of blatant tampering that NASCAR has never had any patience for. But keep in mind that an infraction of that magnitude hasn't been exposed since 2000, when somebody juiced the fuel in Jeremy Mayfield's Penske-Kranefuss car. The penalty then was 151 points, $50,000 and a one-month suspension of crew chief Peter Sospenzo.

Two fuel-additive violations in seven years. Compare that to, say, Major League Baseball, where 12 players were suspended for steroid use in the 2005 season alone. Or the NFL, which is plagued by gun-related incidents. Where's the scandal again?
