And we’re not kidding. If you’re not amazed by this, you must be a corpse or off on Nibiru somewhere, and far out of touch with the NASCAR world.
Let’s get to it, because NASCAR just did.
Mr. Waltrip, prepare for the shaft, and to make history.
First, 100 points from your driver points total, if it increases at Daytona or wherever. You’re 100 down now, pal.
Next, let’s not forget Buffy. We want 100 points from her for being listed as the owner.
Think we’re done? Nope, not even close, bub.
Your VP of Competition, Bobby Kennedy? Don’t come back. Ever.
Your crew chief David Hyder? Um, yeah. Don’t come back, either. Ever.
Oh and while were at it, to add insult to injury, Mr Hyder, please make your check out for $100,000. Brian’s kids need some new shoes.
Oh, for laughs, we’re going to let you try to race in in the Duel’s tomorrow Mikey. Granted we engineered it so you wouldn’t get any practice today, but hey, you’ve won here twice so you’ll figure something out.
Yeah, you’re reading that right.
Michael Waltrip just lost 100 driver points, Buffy 100 owners points, crew chief indefinitely suspended, so was their VP of Competition, and One Hundred Thousand Dollars paid to the order of ISC NASCAR by your crew chief David Hyder.
Thanks, and have a nice day. 
You know, NASCAR gave them a chance. After they confiscated the first manifold from the #55, they checked it again after qualifying.
They found the SAME substance inside the second manifold. So, it obviously wasn’t coming from the manifold, but somewhere else. So they confiscated the car, engine, etc.
What was it “supposed to do”, you ask?
Supposedly the substance would mix with the fuel, boost the octane, and therefore boost the engine’s horses. Exactly how, I don’t know. Maybe the mixture of this “substance” with the fuel put more O2 in the fuel to replace some of what’s lost with the plate? Beats me, but that sounds like a general idea. If that’s the “real” chemical properties or not, like I said, I don’t know.
The sad thing is, most likely Michael had not a clue about what’s going on. His “people” fed him the “we didn’t do a damn thing” lines, and now he’s dealing with this whirlwind crap storm.
Either way, I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.
NASCAR isn’t playing around, and they’re making it very obvious.

I’ll admit it Rob, at first glance I’m thinking “great, another one here to try and push their stuff”.
However I checked out some of your work, and I actually like it. It’s different, but interesting in it’s own way.
Of course, we do appreciate you keep on topic in the comments though.
/Me, I’d love to see what you could do with a mug shot of Boris Said, kinda faded over his car. I think your style would make an already interesting subject even neater.
