Seems like the powers that be might just be turning their heads and letting these teams get away with a little something just for the extra publicity for the next week. And I'm definitely not a Jimmy Johnson fan, but keeping him in inspection over 1/1000 of an inch? Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I watched it as long as JR was on the pole and as soon as he got knocked off, I turned the channel.

Jerry,
If you've read Smokey Yunick's book, Best Damn Garage in Town (and believe him, I do)
The powers to be can do what ever they want to do, when they want to...remember Richard Petty's win, w/ Pres. Reagan there (Daytona???).
I used to watch NASCAR, after Dale Sr. passed, it's meaningless to me...
