Waltrip's penalties came one day after the crew chiefs for 2003
champion Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliott Sadler all
were suspended.

All five drivers also were docked points in an unprecedented move by
NASCAR, which never before had taken points before the season.

NASCAR officials would not reveal what they found in Waltrip's intake
manifold, but a person with knowledge of the investigation told The
Associated Press it was a property contained in jet fuel.

The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to
discuss the details.

Cheating Scandal Rocks NASCAR

5 Teams Penalized -

Car Driven By Michael Waltrip Contained Additive Used In Jet Fuel


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 15, 2007

(AP) The Daytona 500 is supposed to be a NASCAR celebration.

A cheating scandal has made it a mockery.

Five teams have been penalized for breaking the rules, including
two-time winner Michael Waltrip, who humiliated Toyota by flagrantly
violating the code of NASCAR's garage in the Japanese automaker's
debut.

Waltrip lost two key crew members Wednesday when NASCAR penalized his
team for using a fuel additive in preparations for the Super Bowl of
racing.

It continued a weeklong crackdown on cheating by a sanctioning body
fed up with teams' continued attempts to flout the rule book.

"It's been rough on everybody; we're here to celebrate a race," said
NASCAR competition director Robin Pemberton.

"Instead, we're busy dealing with all of this."

Waltrip's crew chief and team director were suspended indefinitely
after a fuel additive was found during inspection.

But Waltrip, docked 100 points, will be allowed to participate in
Thursday's races that determine the field for the 500.

David Hyder, his crew chief, was thrown out of the garage and fined
$100,000 - the largest monetary fine in NASCAR history.

Team director Bobby Kennedy also was kicked out.

Waltrip said he was "so sad and embarrassed," but tried to shift blame
to an unidentified individual within his team.

There is a old NASCAR axiom, "if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!"

It is only now that NASCAR is putting the screws (and rightful so) to
such
tatics from the teams.

As for you trying to make this as republicans = nascar = cheaters, you

will

fail.
