I was checked because I always won, (13 first places in 2 years of racing) my car was always legal because I built it that way.
I did have one really good advantage though, I was racing a Pontiac with all factory parts that were legal for a 67 GTO. That, and a bunch of hard work kept me winning and because I beat the competition regularly they thought I was cheating.

To stop the 3 teams that kept complaining each week about it I told them to each get $10 together totaling $30 for gaskets, and give it to the pit steward to hold. I'd pull a head off my car following the races and they could crawl over the the entire car, measure anything they wanted to until they were sure my car was legal. If they found one thing wrong they got their money back. If it was all legal I got the $30 for gaskets. No one took me up on the offer, and it was the last time I got teched. I thought they'd make me tear it down because of all the bitching they did, put up or shut up. No one would make an offer like that if they were illegal.

Your grasping at straws here to try to deflect the focus from your weak argument for Knaus. Knaus has no integrity and doesn't care. I on the other hand do care and have integrity. Your defense of Knaus is pretty lame for someone that major interest is drag racing and admittedly knows little about circle track racing. Knaus and JJ are two reasons that people are tired of seeing them win and it's hurting the whole sport of NASCAR. There are other reasons beside those 2, but they are a major reason some fans have cut back or quit watching.
