It will be a bit emabarassing for him to explain at first, but he'll be allright. I think if this happened to his Sprint Cup team it would be worse. I'm sure he will handle it properly.

When ever an infraction is mentioned it always by driver. Jr lost points for bracket and Edwards lost points with lid cover or what ever it was they got busted for.

Those drivers had nothing to do with it (as far as we know), but it still associated with their name.

I hate it when so called journalists write this kind of crap. All they wanted was for Tony fans to come read it on their site.

We don't know who did it. I am shocked and disappointed that JGR did this, however, I believe they will be fired. I have been a fan of JGR for many many years and this is the first time I can remember they actually cheated or at least so blatantly. Coach Joe will handle it I am sure. Would be nice to be a fly on the wall this morning at the shop.

What I love the most is the other drivers fans (Roush, HMS and RCR) saying that the teams including drivers should be parked for the rest of the season...like their teams have never done anything. I believe Chad Knaus has been suspended more than one as well as Todd Berrier. It is sad JGR put themselves at the same level as these other teams.

That's what bothers me to hear too. Chad's been caught what 8 times and they never parked that team. What a bunch of crock. They know that's the only way they're gonna beat JGR.

According to accounts of what happened with those cars that were selected for chassis/dyno on Saturday there is a possibility that the drivers were involved and may have some action taken against them. It has been reported that no crew members were allowed inside any of the cars after the drivers got out. So if this report is correct then the cars either ran the race with the magnetic spacers under the throttle pedal or the drivers put them in before the exited the car at the end of the race. Hmm, smells like MWR jet fuel to me.

Stop it, Stewart has nothing to do with the cheating it's his team. If he didn't go with it he would have been beat up and bullied.

Stewart may not have been involved w/ the cheating, but the 'risk' factor discussed on the radio- may make it appear worse for him as opposed to drivers who don't have radio shows. I didn't hear that broadcast.

I read this wrong I apologize I thought you were saying he was guilty due to the radio show. I can't handle all this negative Stewart talk.

The "risk versus reward" comments were made in reference to on track chances during the Cup races. After moving up in the points last week he was asked if he could take more chances on the track such as fuel gamble or 2 tires instead of 4. I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with this JGR scandal.

Do you think any of them will have enough balls to admit they did it? Don't think so......
So now they need to figure out who was the last joker in the car after the race. If no one was in the car after the drivers bailed. Puzzle solved...

I wonder how much more weight Tony will gain from all of this negative press. Soon his name with change from "Smoke" to "Smores".

They announced on Sirius that nascar caught the crew members that placed the magnets red handed. Tony & Joey were not involved.

You heard the same thing I did. After the race no team member was allowed near the cars. All teams try to find ways to cheat the system, they always have and always will. If they had the drives put the magnets under the petal after the race I think the worst part is not Smoke, because he's been around for a long time but Joey Lagano. This is a new kid on the block and I don't think it's very good to have his career start off by getting caught cheating. And to think the crew members talked him into it.

I am not a JGR fan, but I don't think Joey had anything to do with it.

Just so you hear this again...it was stated that the crew members were caught by NASCAR...NO DRIVERS WERE INVOLVED!!!
