lol, it takes a real effort to lose 100 points before the season even starts.
the kicker is, the car in question was impounded and their back up car is not even close to sortedout yet. it actually doesn't even meet the body templates. lol

form a little research i fgured out what they were doing to grab some more power. crank case evacuation and scavenging systems are ilegal on nextelcup cars. most of these systems work by using the exhaust to create a negative pressure envirotment inside the engine. toyta tried to be slick and ripped a page out of drag racing history and ran a similar system through the bottom of the intake.
the result was a fine oil mist on the inside of the intake that initially got nasar poking around.

well played gang, even the NHRA snuffed that one out 15 years ago.
