If you are surprised by the suspension of Chad Knaus for 6 weeks, raise your hand.
Yeah. Didn’t think so.
Now, this is just fun to say for the non-Jimmie fans.
The #48 heads into Phoenix -23 points in the standings.
Just couldn't resist. But I'm a Tony Stewart fan.
The crew chief of 5-time Sprint Cup series champion Jimmie Johnson has a history of infractions and suspensions. Points and money obviously don’t really seem to matter to him and the deep pockets of Hendrick Motorsports.
On Sunday, he didn't look like a man who was probably pretty sure he was getting fined and maybe suspended in three more days.
And reputation, well, obviously that doesn’t matter, or does it? Chad’s rep is for pushing the envelope up to the edge, just enough to stay in the parameters of the rule book.
Oh, didn't he sit under the tutelage of, gasp, Ray Evernham, who is now in the employ of Hendrick. If I were a conspiracy theorist... According to Scene Daily, Chad Knaus has been handed penalties nine times since 2001, both monetary and points-wise.
Yes, that’s quite a reputation…for cheating.
Tell your driver to crack the back of the car into the wall if he wins in case it’s too low? Seriously? Gotcha!
So, he won’t be on the box for 5-time for the next six weeks. Remember, Johnson won the Daytona 500 in 2006 without Chad. He can do quite well without the legend that is Chad Knaus.
Here's a couple of photos from the Daytona trip last weekend. Mike Helton doesn't look like a man who's gonna put the hammer down on Chad Knaus, again.
