Did Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson miss their regular crew chiefs Sunday at the Lenox Industrial Tools 300?
Not if their finishes were any indication.
Without Steve Letarte, Jeff Gordon came in a close second to Denny Hamlin, the race winner. And without Chad Knaus (again), Jimmie was fifth.
Not too bad. Actually, Jimmie Johnson has historically fared well without Knaus. Hey, does anyone but me have a problem with Cheatin’ Chad? Once, OK, I could live with that. And he does have the reputation of being able to push the envelope to the absolute edge. But he’s been caught a few (a dozen) times too many.
Post-race inspections were failed by the cars of Kyle Busch and Johnny Sauter, but NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said those didn’t seem as serious as some of the earlier infractions and the failures looked to be race-related, not deliberate tinkering with the COT.
Tuesday will be the day fines and penalties will be announced for the Busch and Sauter teams, if there are any.
