ChuckLicata Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Hey gang.. Greetinsg from Texas Motor Speedway.. Rebelracewriter and I are sitting in the media room at TMS, about 10 minutes before they start Winston Cup Qualifying.. History made here this morning at TMS--here's a summary of the story courtesy our pals at SportsServer.com.. ---------------- The car of Winston Cup champion Tony Stewart was impounded Friday because it didn't meet specifications, a punishment never before handed out by NASCAR. Stewart, known as the bad boy of the sport, was forced to use his backup car at the opening practice for Sunday's Samsung/Radio Shack 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The Joe Gibbs Racing entry failed inspection because it didn't meet the exact specifications for "the area around the back of the car, back window to back deck," NASCAR president Mike Helton said. "We decided to impound the car instead of letting them cut it up and try to fix it, if they wanted to," Helton said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
