Officials still searching for cause of contaminated fuel:Problem affected more than just Hamlin's car at Atlanta
The contaminated fuel that caused Denny Hamlin's car to stall near the end of Sunday's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway might have been added to the car's fuel tank as early as Friday morning, according to Nextel Cup director John Darby… Darby said NASCAR has ruled out sabotage -- and as to a conspiracy theory: "That puts that to rest because there's already way too many teams involved to select one that somebody didn't like. That helps to reinforce the teams' confidence in our security measures."
Darby also ruled out the idea that condensation could have been the culprit. Sunoco officials do routine daily inspections of the underground tank for water contamination.
Huh? Well, that explains (sort of) what happened to Hamlin on the restart but can anyone remember if something like this has happened before?
