Wow!! they are really getting nailed, and it sounds like they deserve it. Nascar is really holding firm to their rules and punishments on cheating. Mikey Waltrip has been running on his "Oh I'm cute" attitude for a long time, but I don't think it is going to make a bit of difference who he is or what he does he's not going to talk his way out of this one. Nascar just loaded his NAPA Toyota into their trailer and are going to tear it apart some-more in their own garage. I'm not taking bets, but I have a feeling if they find anything else wrong with that car Mikey might  be the next one escorted from the Daytona International Speedway.

He lost 100 driver championship points and the team was fined $100,000. I guess letting Buffy be the car owner was suppose to be advantageous to their racing team and profits, but it looks like that has come back to bite them too. As car owner she has been penalized, she has lost 100 car owner championship points. It will be interesting to see all this play out. I doubt with a back-up car that does not even come close to the 500's criteria for areodynamic's, and that he hasn't even driven will make it into the race. That is even if the team can get it ready before the twin 150's tomorrow.  We'll see.....

Ohh Donna.. What does NASCAR Stand for? National AMERICAN Stock Car Auto Racing or is it Association of Racing? Toyota is still BASED in Japan. Mikey should have stuck with DEI and Chevy. sigh.... I want to think that his crew chief had everything to do with the jet fuel found in his manifold and Mikey was just a passenger on that ride. His crew chief knew Toyota could stand up to the American cars.

Hi Lysa,

I don't think Toyota should be in NASCAR at all. What happened to the good ol boys, where did they go? Unfortunately Mikey and Darrell are a really big part of why Toyota is in NASCAR, They slid the trucks in and didn't get too much stink about that so now they are in the Cup Races. If Bill France Senior were still here I don't think this would be going on. I have to disagree I think Mikey knew everything. The Waltrips were always a couple of my favorite drivers, but I think I am rethinking it.
