Edwards Fails Post Race Inspection


Sifty

Recommended Posts

I just read he failed post race inspection.

Not sure what this is but the oil box lid was missing.

Sounds like NASCAR took some parts for inspection.

Sounds like his points lead my be short lived.

You beat me to it Sifty, I just read the same thing........as long as they let him keep the win so I don't lose any fantasy points grin.gif

It also looks like a couple other teams were fined as well this weekend. I guess the old saying is right......."if you ain't cheatin' you aint' tryin'" grin.gif

I think they said a few Nationwide Series cars had similar infractions a few weeks ago and they were docked 25 driver points and 25 owner points. I think that's what they are expecting Edwards and crew to get.

Roush cheating again! Nothing new here!!!!! 100 points and 6 weeks boys...

You would have no way of knowing that.

NASCAR does not announce fines and point loss

untill Tuesday afternoon.

Let's not allow hatred and jealousy cloud

out truth and accuracy.

Carl Edwards' Sprint Cup victory in the UAW-Dodge 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will stand, but he's likely to lose some of the driver and owner points he earned after NASCAR officials found "an issue" with his No. 99 Ford in post-race inspection late Sunday.

Oh and by the way, you might as well give Roush the cup right now. If they are just not going to penalize them when they let tires roll down pit road and then call their cheating not cheating when they get caught, its pretty obvious the fix is in for the blue oval boys this year...

I was doing paperwork (taxes) when the tire thing happened...what was that all about anyway? I think I remember hearing something about the tire rolling out of the box and back in?

Anyone have a photo of this oil tank lid? I'm curious how it allows 10% more downforce by allowing air to travel through the car. I'm assuming this lid is on the truck or above the rear bumper area?

I found this on yahoo sports about the oil resivour cap. I don't know why it give an arowdynamic advantage if it is in the car.

"Unlike conventional cars, where the oil is stored in the main engine compartment, Cup cars use a dry-sump system with the extra oil stored in a square steel reservoir tank behind the driver's seat.

Generally speaking, a missing lid would enable more air to flow into that area of the car, which, at speeds of nearly 200 mph, could provide a slight aerodynamic advantage and more power.

It must be an advantage and even if it is not, its in the rules and others have been penalized also for this infraction.

Not doubting that. Just want to see what it looks like.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
