Writing.Com: Tis the season!

For cheating

Micheal Waltrip's response to the discovery of an unknown substance in his intake manifold was interesting... "I'm just the driver! I don't know much about engines..." Might I remind Mr. Waltrip that he is not 'just the driver' now-a-days? He's the owner and holds a higher level of responsibility when it comes to playing with the rules.

He thinks he was condemned before being tried? Let's face facts...something really alarming happened there. NASCAR is not tearing down the #55 because it entertains them. You were pushing the envelope and got caught. Stop crying, Mikey.

Kenseth and Kahne's cars...aerodynamic enhancements. They cut holes in their cars where they shouldn't have. Last year JJ lost his crew chief over some clever maneuverings like this. We're waiting upon the results, but don't be too shocked at high points, cash and suspensions. The teams were warned last year.

But this is Daytona...in another year we won't be seeing restrictor plate engines or even this particular car design. Racing at the brightest gem on the Cup circuit will not be the same. This is the last opportunity for teams to try these particular tricks at this location. The importance of this race can't be stressed enough! Especially when the face of this sport will be morphing into something bigger and better.

So, yeah, they're cheating. THey're bump drafting in the tri-oval. They're whining about tires and aero-loose. This is Daytona. It's February.

The boys are back! Sit back and enjoy
