Hendricks Motorsports will appeal of course.

This isn't the first time Knaus has been dinged at Daytona trying to slip something past the tech inspectors.

"Smokey" Knaus

He's slick, but not Smokey slick. Smokey was even smarter than Chad.

What exactly did they catch him doing? His job is to find an edge, to exploit the gray area of the rules!

The team including Rick Hendrick, say this is the same car that passed tech 4 times and raced all 4 restrictor plate races last year. Nascar doesn't like the C pillars, they say they are flared out. Hendrick and Knaus say the C pillars have never been touched except to paint the car. They say they have internal time sheets verifiing whats been done to the car, and nothing is done on any car without being logged.
