Joe Gibbs Racing cheating ???

BROOKLYN, Mich. — NASCAR confiscated the oil pans of Joe Gibbs Racing's three Sprint Cup cars Friday morning at Michigan International Speedway because they weren't approved

Now that may not seem like to much of a thing , but at the Big tracks getting weight as low as possible means going just a bit faster ....

And guess who drives for Coach Gibbs ...

You guys, they should hire Robert Duval because he can get you an extra gallon of gas in the gas lines.

The oil pans were not "approved" by nascar. All parts have a process to go through before nascar deems them suitable for competition. The parts were in the process already, just no final decision yet. But without being approved, they shouldn't be on the car. End of story.

The oil pans were found BEFORE the cars hit the track so really no big deal.. But, if the cars had took to the track first it would be a very big deal now ...

The oil pans have nothing to do with Kyle Busch, he has no say on what goes on the cars. However the oil pans were nothing spectacular just a little heavier. Everyone seemed to blow it up like there was lead in them or something. Either way they were a sick looking piece (i work in the CNC dept. of JGR so i have messed with em a bit, however i didn't work on the oil pan itself)

Not saying KB had anything to do with it, but it does keep his name in the headlines for the wrong reason... When it comes to CUP any little anything can effect a car , esp at a track like Michigan where speeds are over 200MPH....
