Jimmie Johnson, the winner of yesterday's Nextel Cup race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway #48 Chevy was found to be to low in post race inspection. And his Hendrick Motorsports teamate 2nd place finisher Kyle Busch, was found to have rear quarter panels that were to low on his #5 Chevy. Fines and punishments for these two teams, as well as the #29 RCR team for there qualifying day, run in with "long arm of the law" are expected on Tuesday.

Was watching Nascar this Morning pre race on Sunday, and Kenny Wallace put Mike Helton right on the spot with what I thought was a great question. He asked Helton, "why are they impounding the cars at all the ISC tracks (the ones the Frances own) and very few of the SMI tracks (the ones Bruton Smith owns) and was the reason for this because Smith was unhappy about the impound" (for obvious reasons, less time the cars are on the track, less fans in the grandstands) Helton responded that the reason was some of the SMI tracks have certain sponsor agreements, and while he really didnt give a good explanation by what he meant by that, I would assume Helton meant that the sponsors required so much track time for the cars. With that being said, it makes you wonder some times who's at the wheel of the "mother ship" Nascar, or the sponsors.....
