michael waltrip used illegal substance
how bad is it when even america’s fake athlete’s are cheating?
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Michael Waltrip’s crew chief and team director were thrown out of the Daytona 500 and suspended indefinitely Wednesday because an illegal substance was found during inspection for the season-opening race.

The illegal substance was found inside the intake manifold of Waltrip’s new Toyota Camry before qualifying for the Daytona 500 on Sunday. NASCAR seized the part and shipped it back to North Carolina for analysis, and spent all day Wednesday pulling parts and pieces from under the hood.The manifold is a part of the engine that supplies the fuel/air mix to the engine cylinders. Waltrip’s team coated the inside of it with an illegal substance that is believed to be a gelatin form of jet fuel, according to the same official, who requested anonymity because NASCAR had not announced its penalties at the time.

they went with the oil excuse? i would have said it was a rubbing balm for arthritis.
btw, i do not watch NASCAR. i avoid every possible contact with it, but somehow this slipped in.
