pssst. real the comments some are funny stuff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - NASCAR suspended crew chief Chad Knaus for three more races Tuesday and fined him $25,000 for making an illegal modification to Jimmie Johnson's car during preparation for the Daytona 500.

 

Knaus was ejected from Daytona following the cheating scandal, and Johnson went on to win the race in a legal car.

 

Now Johnson must compete in the next three events without his crew chief. Knaus won't be eligible to return to a race track until the March 26 race in Bristol, Tenn.

 

NASCAR, without comment, also placed Knaus on probation for the rest of the year. It means the crew chief won't be able to push the limits the way he has done for much of the past four seasons.

 

Knaus seemed unrepentant.

 

"I think if we ran 25th every week we wouldn't be getting this attention," he said in a conference call.

 

Knaus also deflected several questions that gave him the opportunity to take responsibility for an alteration NASCAR has characterized as "blatant cheating."

 

"There's a lot of things out there that can be called intentional," Knaus said. "The fact of the matter is when NASCAR went back it didn't fit the templates. How that happens is pretty irrelevant."

 

Knaus has been fined numerous times for various infractions, and was suspended two races last season when Johnson's car failed inspection following a victory in Las Vegas. Knaus appealed and the suspension was reduced to probation.

 

"There's no doubt that Chad has been aggressive and walks a fine line," Johnson said. "He stepped over the line and he's living with the consequences right now."

 

Knaus' latest infraction came during time trials for the Daytona 500. The Chevrolet passed its initial inspection. But sometime before Johnson went out and posted the fifth-fastest time, the rear window of the car was altered to change its aerodynamics.

 

The car failed post-race inspection and Knaus was kicked out of Daytona the next day. Johnson's time was thrown out and the team had to rebuild the car to make it fit NASCAR's templates.

 

The car passed at least three more inspections before Sunday's main event, which Johnson went on to win in the biggest victory of his career. His Chevy also passed an intensive post-race inspection.

 

Still, rivals have questioned the legitimacy of the victory and spoiled what should be Johnson's crowning achievement.

 

Knaus defended Johnson's effort and said the driver was unaware of any problems the car might have had.

 

"Drivers don't know what' going in these race cars, ever," he said. "Jimmie isn't really into knowing what is going on with the race cars. He shows up and drives and gives his feedback and goes home."

 

Asked Tuesday if he perhaps would be better off with a new crew chief because Knaus' tendency to push the limit is reflecting on Johnson, the driver said it has yet to get to that point.

 

"That's something that has been brought up during this experience," he said. "Maybe Chad's been walking too close to the line and if you're walking a tight rope you're going to step off at some point, and this is what's happened.

 

"We'll just have to take it as it comes. He's brought a lot of success to this team and a lot of innovation to Hendrick Motorsports. We just need to walk on the right side of the line from here on out."

 

Knaus said he could abide by those rules.

 

"We're not going to go out there and pull punches," he said. "We are going to take the best product that we can to the race track, week in and week out, within the guidelines of NASCAR."

 

Johnson indicated that Knaus has been humbled by the experience that forced him to watch the team he built from the ground up win the 500 on television.

 

"If he was doing well I'd be concerned," Johnson said. "The fact that it's so hard on him, it's obvious where his heart is and how much he cares for this race team. Every time I talk to him, he says, 'Dude I'm so sorry.' Every time he answers the phone that's what he says."

 

Johnson will compete in the next three events with lead engineer Darian Grubb calling the shots. Grubb also filled in for Knaus at Daytona.

I personally don't like NASCAR. But it's a growing sport for sure...Here in Dallas, we are gearing for the Texas Motor speedway and people are killing themselve for tickets.

Same here, Pocono Raceway is only a half hour from where I live. There are two races a year adn it gets crazy around here. All the NASCAR hicks like VG come up and take over the area. Long Pond is the third largest city in the state for the day. Some 200,000 folks come. I have stayed on the infield before and it is actually pretty fun. A ton of cook outs and great food.

all the nascar hicks ?

it does not matter, hell I would take Kyle Petty

by the way how new are you to nascar JR ? I am in the General Discussion defending NAscar as a sport and you are like it was no big deal

See I was trying to be a nice guy Lug. I picked JJ when Morgan was not saying a word. Now I did not know he was a JJ fan and I just picked him. So being the nice guy I am, I picked Edwards so Morgan would be happy. Then Morgan comes on and saying he was never in this. So basically if I was never told that info I would have kept JJ. Of course I could have used my mod powers to take JJ by force. I didn't though. So as you can see I am a little angry over the situation. I will let you all decide my fate. Whoever you guys want as my driver between Edwards and JJ, that would be the driver.

oh I didnt know morgan declined to enter our sig game sorry my bad :yikes: ............. no prob then

wait a minute i thought morgan had JJ?

in defence to morgan we know he is a jj fan from SW1 but dont know if he has had a chance to join in this little bet yet,

and we all assummed he would and jrenieli said he would take carl edwards so what the story who has who?

oh and when are we going to start the sig change is it this week or after next weeks race?

California Speedway. Time again to pick a driver for this comming weeks race. We had the rules change a bit and now can pick a driver once every 12 races. So it is divided up into three parts. I need to pick a driver for this week. I already picked Junior and wondering if there are any suggestions for this up comming week. I have to have it in by Thursday.

this is for you're other nascar league ? california I hate to say it but pick gordan :brooding:

errr he won 1 daytona 500 a couple years back ...................... always?

I liked that one but I don't have the link

yeah it would be up to morgan to supply you with the sig before the start of next weeks race if he dont then you dont have to display it

any way before we do this we should ALL agee I dont know what the others think damn too bad we didnt have a little chat box so we could all talk at once

ok ok we need clairification

sig bet after 10 major races this year? or is it at the end of the season

how about this the low man on the totem pole has to carry the winners sig till next week

who ever is low guy the next week has to put on the highest guys sig (what ever he wants) untill the next week .

when we get to the chase if your guy aint in it you got to choose a new guy .

at the end of the year its the points race how they finish. every one that is lowerin points than the highest poster has to carry the winners sig(what ever he wants) till next feburary. so you could see 9 guys on here with the same sig and if new people ask why you can tell them and maybe we will have more people in on it next year.
