Looks like Truex's team is in a bit of trouble from what I read on Jayski:
#1 car doesn't fit templates, seized by NASCAR: During opening day technical inspection Thursday at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR seized the #1 DEI Chevy driven by Martin Truex Jr. NASCAR said that during the tech inspection the car did not fit the roof templates. The team was allowed to try again and when they failed again the car was seized and will be taken to NASCAR’s R&D center for further evaluation. The team was told to bring their back up car out for inspection.(Cup Scene Online)(7-3-2008) Comment here
125 points and a 6 race crew chief suspension?  That might officially kill Truex's chase hopes for the season.

That's just my guess on the penalty.  I say it's going to be at least 100 points minimum, especially failing the inspection process not once, but twice.

Sounds like Martin and his crew is bucking for a position at HMS.  Maybe the 5 car?  Just kidding,  this will kill his chances for the chase.  With the fine given to the 66 I would say 125 and 6 but since this is the first time for the roof, it may be just 100 and 6.

I think it should be the 100 points, 100 grand, 6 week suspension. NASCAR set the precedent last year with HMS when they only got the 100/100/6 penalty after Jrs penalty. Nobody has gotten dinged on the roof yet.

Mikeyfan .. funny that the guy that resides in the fragilest of glass houses should cast a stone at HMS.. 

Speaking of HMS and penalties I have to ask why did Martin even get a second chance to pass the inspection after failing the first template inspection and why is he being allowed to continue to practice?  Why isn't he being treated like Jeff and Jimmie were when they failed the same offense ... resulting in NO 2nd inspection, NO more practices, NO qualifying, sent to the back of the field for the start of the race along with fines and suspensions ... and people want to believe that HMS gets favoritism .. wake up.

DEI, or is it TEI, is becoming the laughing stock of Nascar.  I am putting the over/under at 2 years before the wicked witch has to sell out.

Some one had to really have thier head up thier rear to mess up this bad.

I'll be back in a week, we are off to Cali for a little vacation.  I hope everyone enjoys the holiday.

What I dont understand is they said the template at the garage fit the car but the template at the track didnt. Does'nt Nascar hand out the templates? LOL, thats a good excuse. Or maybe their template was made in China?
