I forgot the lined up by points from last year for the first 5 races, I was so looking forward to seeing JJ's hauler parked in the -23rd spot in the garage. sighklvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-69029244666041490762012-03-15T19:52:11.490-05:002012-03-15T19:52:11.490-05:00Dwindy1 - In the past Knaus has been able to work ...Dwindy1 - In the past Knaus has been able to work from the shop during the week. I'd be shocked if that's not the case this time, as well. NASCAR wouldn't have jurisdiction over Hendrick Motorsports, just what happens at the race track.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-42556352696567490702012-03-14T22:22:32.272-05:002012-03-14T22:22:32.272-05:00Jacob,

Allowing Chad to stay on the box through the first 4-5 races while the appeals process gets completed is a reward in my opinion as the teams wade through, with the exception of a road course, all the main types of racing Sprint Cup follows and with the new year and revised set-ups that's gotta be worth quite a lot. My question: Does this mean Chad will simply not be there for the 6 races and still work in HMS's home shop? Or will he be totally banned from all phases of the operation for 6 races?<br /><br />Thanks!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-2187182509698179952012-03-14T21:37:59.490-05:002012-03-14T21:37:59.490-05:00In this particular case Johnson could use the cham...In this particular case Johnson could use the champion's provisional because Stewart is near the top of the standings, but what if this happens to someone who doesn't have a champion's provisional? It won't be as big of a deal because more people care about the #48 team, but the point is the same. Messing with the points before the penalty is final only leaves open room for problems.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-43404140997854586942012-03-14T13:29:23.441-05:002012-03-14T13:29:23.441-05:00As stated above, Jimmie missing a race because of ...As stated above, Jimmie missing a race because of this is moot. He WILL be in the race no matter what since he has the champion's provisional.<br /><br />As for your second scenario, I would hope that with a penalty that close to the Chase cut-off, NASCAR would act with due diligence and get the appeals over and done with before the start of the Chase. (Of course, the only thing I can ever be sure of with NASCAR is that they will be inconsistent in whatever they do.)SpeedBeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660781059400974421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-75390517109399902252012-03-14T11:27:16.841-05:002012-03-14T11:27:16.841-05:00even if Jimmy johnson crashes during qualifying he...even if Jimmy johnson crashes during qualifying he still has a championship provisional...Ralvareznoreply@blogger.com
