Yeah... but in true NASCAR fashion, the guy that cheated still gets to keep his "win".

Smells of Lance Armstrongism.

Hrmmmm, "keep the win."

Loses 50 pts, so he's actually negative 2 pts vs. if he hadn't even run the race. Loses the bonus points he would've accumulated for winning the race to be added to his Chase starting point (if he makes the chase). Loses his crew chief for six races. Dropped from 8th in points to 14th.

I doubt the drivers get much (if any) of the "winnings" from a race, due to the way the contracts are structured. So, with all of those penalties, I don't see that he "won" much here.. :dunno:
I beg to differ...Kyle Busch's New $7.5 Million, 13,000 Sq.Ft. Home on the Redneck Riviera - STOCK CAR RacersReunion

The big name drivers don't live off the weekly winnings. They live off what the race team, sponsors, etc. pay them. I'm not saying the drivers may not end up with some of the money. But, they're not depending on having to place top 10 to get the purse money to pay the mortgage.

They say Jr. made $28 million last year. There's no way in Hell or anywhere else he made that on his week-in, week-out race winnings! :rollin:

All of this for 3 MOTHERfWONkING GRAMS!!! :facepalm:

And only for ONE of 'em, not all 8.. It seems like a machining or quality control problem to me, not "hey, let's try to put one over on NASCAR and hope they don't notice when they do the tear-down we KNOW they're going to do if we actually win." :wtf:
