I heard about him overchanging the setup and the handling went away and they changed it again and it came back. Too bad, it may have cost him the win.

Too bad they fined him 25 points for an illegal front suspension.

I didn't hear about that...I wonder what in the hell constitutes an illegal suspension?

OK...just read about it on Nascar.com. The front springs were an unapproved make. They even fined the crew chief $10,000.

they did the same for the 6 car. the springs on the car had 4 3/8 coils and the regulation spring is to be 4 1/2. viagra team pulled a approved part # off the shelf and it was 4 3/8 coils. they went back to the trailer and pulled another one out of the box from the supplier and it to was 4 3/8. this infraction of 25 points for martin, 25 points for rouch and $5000.00 for the crew chief will make it hard for martin to catch stewart because of no enough races left to make that up.

i know it's up to the teams to make sure the parts are approved or not.

Just read that to....heck if Sterling can't have the championship, I'd rather Mark Martin have it than Tony Stuart! I don't think Mark has ever won it. *%@# Nascar!
