An absolute double-standard by NASCAR. They can ruin Carl Long over an illegal engine, but Michael Waltrip, Hendrick Motorsports, Gibbs, that whole big-team bunch - the fines they get amount to one afternoon's lunch money for them; $60,000 is chump change for them.
When Hendrick Motorsports gets hammered with a multi-million-dollar monetary fine and a four-digit points penalty for each car (it's a multicar team and they basically operate as One Team) over a cheating incident like what Chad Knaus pulled at Daytona a few years back is when NASCAR shows it has real credibility with regard to policing cheating.
