Under the situation, I don't think the 9 could have continued anyway, but the 9 was parked.
advantage areas everybody expect fair gray looking teams
There are gray areas we expect teams to exploit. We know everybody is looking for every little advantage. But when these templates don't fit, they don't fit. It's not fair to the other competitors to let one team get way with it.
call everybody fine fun honest move nascar people
There is a conflict, to be honest about it. It's a fine line, and everybody has an opinion. People call Nascar the 'moral police' or 'the fun police,' but we have to do what we think is right and move on.
gray matter perfectly rules somebody
To be perfectly honest, absolutely. That's one thing about our sport: No matter what the rules are, if there's any gray anywhere, somebody is going to find a way to use it to their advantage.

Tony can be emotional at times, but when Tony speaks we're certainly going to listen to him. He was very rational in the way he presented his thoughts.

If they didn't change the engine and something was damaged, that could have cost Stewart the championship. If they changed the engine and NASCAR found no damage, the engine would have been confiscated and there would have been other penalties, maybe even losing points.

I am confident they will do a splendid job.
guys past understanding work
One of the things we've done in the past is try to get guys to work things out, understanding that this is a high-emotion sport.
along asked earn position quite spot tie top whether
Nobody's asked about ties, quite frankly. We've said all along if they're in that top 10, whether it's in a position or in a tie for one of those top 10 positions, they earn a spot in the Chase.
