Whose to say that the part wasn't Misaligned intentionally?
Just like missing tape, maybe?
I'm not necessarily saying it was intentional. In fact, if it wasn't intentional, let him keep his spot. But, if it was, then he needs to be hammered just like everyone else.....

That I agree with. If it was intentional, hammer him. If it wasn't and happened during the race, tough, but he should keep the spot. All I've read is failed, not misaligned. Originally Posted by slorydn1

I'd like to see what Nascar would've done if Berrier was in the shoes.

an inch is huge for Daytona, even if it was misaligned or broken. it was a huge advantage for Aero

Larry Mac says he understands exactly what Pemberton was saying, and that he doesn't belive it was intentional but he brought up previous precedent of fines and point penalties for being too low...
Mikey Waltrip sided with NASCAR on the lack of penalties for the 24#4 2014 Sprint Cup Champion, 2007 Daytona 500,2003 Brickyard 400,2x Coke 600,2014 Southern 500 Champ: 962 starts,90 wins, 345 T5s, 544 T10s, 44 poles, 2x NNS champ
