I think the idea of making them sit in a suite at the track is by far the best thing ive heard. a least that way nascar knows guys they have suspended are not callin the shots during the race.

Cheaters are losers and I have never cared for cheaters or losers. We don't need cheaters as they don't improve racing, they help destroy it.

I won't be holding my breath waiting for NASCAR to levy that kind of punishment.

And not only that, the could be providing NASCAR some kind of service. Like when Knaus is suspended, they could run a "buy a nextel phone and win a chance to watch the race with Chad Knaus" contest. This would then be beneficial to the sponsors.

Just cost the owner a million bucks a violation. Even Rick Hendrick will tell Chad to build legal cars after a few goes at that....

I like it. Complete communications blackout. But how about a debriefing at the end of each day? Should they be barred from communicating just during practice and the race or should they be allowed to talk to the driver and crew at the end of qualifying?

The fact is short of locking the guy up for the weekend you aint gonna stop him talking to the crew after practice and qualifying sessions. Cheatings bad but i dont think Chad Knaus or Steve Latarte deserve to be made someones prison bitch at weekends.

At least if they have to report to some sort of sin bin, we know that they are not making any strategic calls or changes to the cars during the race.
