As each day unfolds, the controversies within NASCAR continue to grow leaving many of us to wonder when it will end.  Every week it’s something new, it’s never boring, but what’s next?

Next week the headlines may read:  

A vendor at a beer tub failed to fill a cup up completely.   The vendor violated the rules by failing to remove the suds from the top of the cup, thus not toping it off fully.  Even tough the vendor stated she was unaware of the NASCAR Rule Book; she was fined 100 beer cups and is required to use a straight edge to remove the suds before handing the cup to the customer.

Eleven drivers that move the motor coaches for the drivers to and from the tracks each week were informed they violated the NASCAR Rule Book for improper valve stem placement when parking their coaches.   The rule is very specific; the valve stem must be centered on the bottom of the wheel when parked.   The fine is pending NASCAR’s ruling next Tuesday, but it is expected that NASCAR will take away their in-coach potty privileges for six races.  

The “Cat in the Hat” has another date with NASCAR’s rules committee for a brim infraction.   You read it right, a brim violation.   In his pit box during the race on Sunday, for some reason, he turned the brim on the front of his hat up.  If found cheating for this flagrant offense; the penalty would require him to wear a baseball cap for six races.   In addition, he would have to donate his favorite hat to the Goodwill.  

Smoke was penalized and sent to the garage for trying to qualify with 60-inch mud tires.  When asked why he made such a severe change he said, more rubber!   Fine is pending (NASCAR is behind closed doors urgently writing a new paragraph in the rule book to cover this).   

All teams in the Hendricks garage were found to have unauthorized tools in their rolling tool boxes.   NASCAR said the rules, again, are very specific; you cannot have any tools that are not sponsor affiliated with NASCAR.  This fine could be close to terminal.  The rule book states all tools will be suspended and locked up for six races.  

Gerrel Says-   Do you think there could be any fines issued for the track personal during the races for failing to maintain a sufficient supply of toilet tissue,soap & paper towels, in the women's restrooms?   The thought of possible penalties is painful.

Newmanfan12 Says-   I am just surprised that Newman did not get a penatly for "smoking" after his Daytona Win!!!! We all saw the "smoke" rolling out of his windows!!! We know it is in the NASCAR Invisable rulebook no smoking in the cars!   They may make him install a smoke detector attached to an automatic fire extinguisher.  

Absurd?  You bet!   Just wanted to have some fun and lighten things up a little.
