Oh what uh feeling

And although inquiring minds may have wanted to know where Dan Wheldon would land next year? The biggest story of the weekend was that once again a Toyota RASSCAR team had been caught CHEATING!

As in Y’all recall the mayhem surroundin’ Mikey “Aw Shucks” Waltrip’s problems of tryin’ to run some sorta gooey jet fuel additive at some ‘lil race called the Daytona 500, of which I scribbled ‘bout in Mikey’s Moonshine. And that was before Waltrip Junior fell asleep at the wheel of his Land Cruiser...

Now comes word, as I’m sure it’s all over le internets... Of how after Toyota’s N-Car Lite brigade was zapped for producing too much horsepower and runnin’ roughshod over the Nationwide Cup, that an additional restrictor plate was added to all Nationwide “Toy-yoter” competitors...

Well, after this Saturday’s Michigan N-Car Lite event, the Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) third place No. 20 of Tony Stewart and protégé Joey Logano’s No. 18 seventh place racecar’s were found to have planted magnets to the backside of their loud pedals to prevent the post race chassis dynometer test from revealing their Toyota engine’s true horsepower numbers...

OOPS! That sounds like major egg on somme-juan’s face, eh? Look for RASSCAR to justifiably hand down some major Draconian penalties later this week... As Robin Miller said’ “C’mon Dave, CHEATIN’ in RASSCAR?”

Who’d uh Thunk-it, eh?
