rebelracewriter Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Harvick and crew are quickly replacing Mike Skinner as NASCAR's head whiners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 That crew was once that of the #31 and Mike Skinner. Richard Childress switched the crews on the 31 and 29 I think last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 SASpeedracer, yep I saw that explaination. That is one of the pre-determined responses that Nascar hands out on every infraction. I was curious what they actually were caught doing. The infractions were caught before the race began, pre-race inspections. Sounds like the crew member was trying to hide something from the officials? The crew chief always gets hit with a fine if one of his crew members has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Thanks, Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASPEEDRACER24 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Wonder what it could have been but I remeber someone a few weeks back complaining about a crew member bending/pulling a part of the body so it would pass the template test then bend it back afterward I dunno if this was something similar or not just something I read on Jayski a month or so ago.
