Can you believe Nascar actually penalized MWR?
50 points and $300,000 plus some other stuff and probation. Only downside is apparently Clint Bowyer gets off scott free. How's that happen?

Jeff would not have been in the chase regardless, anyone who is saying that is uninformed.
He ended up 1 point behind Logano. Logano moved up the 1 spot from Vickers pitting, without that it's a tie. Logano would have then taken the tiebreaker for 10th on account of having a win. So that was no change overall.

I believe it, yes. I still think NASCAR makes a lot of governing mistakes, but I felt that they weren't going to let this one slip away after all the information that came out. Their initial comment was made immediately after the race before all the stuff came to light.
But their problems are still exposed with the fact that Bowyer gets away clean. No fine, no probation, no penalty. 50 points were docked before Chase reseeding so his starting position has not been altered. Gets away squeaky clean, with only reputation damage.
And Gordon was still unfairly screwed out of the Chase, and NASCAR did nothing to address that situation.

I was just listening to Marty Smith and he said that it is $300,000 per team. And how he talked is that Bowyer's penalty comes in the Chase. Now I may have misheard but that would make sense. I'm just interested on how the appeals process is going to work in this case.

Bowyer did not get off scott free. He was penalized heavily - 50 points. But his season was good enough to overcome it.

Nascar as much as said Bowyer cheated and caused two drivers to miss the chase,but by putting only one of those drivers back in, they are cheating also by screwing Gordon over.
