Major penalty coming for the #38? bleeder valves found on the tires
Read this over at jayski's. It sounds like the #38 could have a 200 point $200,000 penalty coming and could put Robby back in the Top 35!!!
Illegal bleeder valves on the #38 at Pocono? Sources tell Sirius that NASCAR discovered clandestine [secrecy or concealed] air pressure bleeder valves on the tires of Travis Kvapil's #38 Front Row Motorsports Ford Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Following the rain delay, NASCAR officials reportedly observed two soft tires on the rear of Kvapil's car and held him from rolling back onto the track for the start of the race. Closer examination of those tire and wheel assemblies allegedly revealed illegal bleeder valves, which purge excess air pressure from the tires as it accumulates under race conditions. If confirmed, the team would likely face a major NASCAR penalty, since tires are considered to be one of the sanctions "untouchable" items, along with engines and fuel.(Sirius Speedway)(6-8-2010)

the Long deal was bad, and i think Nascar knew it later on

OK, so the on track payoff for the 38 would be starting a run on higher pressures. Then as the heat builds up the air stays consistant. This would help on the early part of the run. The #7 typically runs slower times (compared to other cars on new tires) on the early part of a run and gains performance over the run. Does anyone rmember how the 38/37/34 did vs Robby on other tracks? Did they fall off or gain? Did they have to start the race on the Q tires? Seems to me at least in Phoenix the 34/37/38 teams were beating the 7 early and Robby caught them late. I would doubt this was their first bending of the rules...
