NASCAR finally stepped up to the bat and hit a home run when they handed out the penalties Wednesday morning to JGR crew chiefs and anyone else involved with the # 18 and # 20 stock cars. I for one feel sorry for two individuals in this latest major cheating mess and that is Tony Stewart and Joey Logano. This cheating caught a talented and two time champion Cup driver, Tony Stewart in this scandal and sadly, it caught a young man just beginning his career in racing in the same mess. Now Logano’s name will forever go down in NASCAR history tied in with the cheating magnet theory some so called UNintelligent people who once again decided to try sneak a cheat and a big one at that times two.

Is it surprising to me that in a little over a year after Dale Earnhardt Jr. left DEI for Hendrick Motorsports that situations appear worse at DEI? Absolutely not. I said even before that the bricks now have apparently began to crumble, and that something was wrong behind those closed doors.

At Bristol Motor Speedway another legendary driver hung up his keys and retired this past weekend.

I for one am happy to see Dale Jarrett join other’s like Rusty Wallace who were able to drive until they knew it was time to retire and they never looked back.

I am wondering what is going through NASCAR’s mind regarding the #99 team.

I guess they are having a difficult time trying to figure out what penalty to hand out for the failed post race inspection by the 99 team.

Surely they are not even going to consider NO penalty. If they only take away 25 points it would be like no penalty. Nothing would surprise me though.

As a fan of Dale Sr.’s from day one and who always will be, I can’t go without bringing up the special Daytona 500 Anniversary win car they unveiled this week created by Motorsports Authentics commemorating Dale Earnhardt’s first and only win of the Daytona 500 in 1998.

I am fortunate to own more than one of those 1998 die-cast in my collection of Earnhardt memorabilia.
