Top-10 Things Rumored to be Found at Bottom of the Charlotte Motor Speedway
Sinkhole

CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 6, 2010) – The infamous sinkhole that has
developed in Charlotte Motor Speedway’s infield has uncovered many unusual
and even historical items, from a common step ladder to the July 16, 1977,
edition of “The Charlotte News,” which ironically contained a story about
then Speedway Public Relations Director, Joe Whitlock.

While crews rush to repair the sinkhole in time for next weekend’s
Bank of America 500, reports are beginning to run wild about the items they
continue to find in what has become the unlikeliest of time capsules.

Below is a list of the Top-10 things rumored to have been discovered
at the bottom of the sinkhole.
1. Clint Bowyer’s 150 driver points.

2. A toupee worn by Burt Reynolds in his 1983 movie “Stroker Ace,”
filmed at the track.

3. The golden horseshoe that Kevin Harvick said Jimmie Johnson and
the No. 48 team used when they won the Feb., 2010, race in Fontana, Calif.,
just in time for this weekend’s race!

4. Parts to Darrell Waltrip’s engine that mysteriously failed and
ultimately avoided inspection after he drove to victory in the first NASCAR
Sprint All-Star Race in 1985.

5. A strong, number-two wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. No,
scratch that, that hasn’t been found yet.

6. Media center lasagna that’s as edible as it was 30-plus years
ago.

7. Naysayers who believed condominiums would never work at a race
track.

8. Blueprints from the infamous T-Rex race car that Jeff Gordon
drove to a dominating victory in the 1997 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.

9. An I.O.U. from David Reutimann to Michael Waltrip for
intentionally wrecking one of his cars in Kansas last weekend.

10. A peanut butter and banana sandwich left behind by “The King”
Elvis Presley during his 1968 filming of “Speedway” at the track.

One thing you won’t find is the world’s largest HD video screen –
that’s even too big to fit in this gigantic sinkhole!

Following the incident between Kyle Busch and David Reutimann at Kansas, the guys at Inside NASCAR share their thoughts and discuss what each race means to both the chasers and the non-chasers.

NATIONAL STOCK CAR RACING APPEALS PANEL STATEMENT:

(October 5, 2010) – Following an appeal hearing earlier today in Concord, N.C., the National Stock Car Racing Chief Appellate Officer has upheld the penalty for the No. 33 car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, with the following revisions:

Crew chief Shane Wilson’s fine has been reduced from $150,000 to $100,000 and Wilson and car chief
Chad Haney’s race suspensions have been lowered from six to four. Both are suspended from NASCAR until Nov. 3 and are on probation until Dec. 31.

The loss of 150 championship owner and driver points remains intact.

The No. 33 car was penalized by NASCAR on Sept. 22 as a result of rule infractions discovered during post-race inspection at the NASCAR Research and Development Center following the Sept. 19 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Specifically, the car body location specifications in reference to the certified chassis did not meet NASCAR-approved specifications of the 2010 NASCAR Rule Book.

“After reviewing all the data, presentation and factors involved, I am ruling NASCAR was correct in its decision to levy penalties,” said John Middlebrook, the National Stock Car Racing Chief Appellate Officer who presided over the hearing. “I believe that the revisions that have been made to the penalties are consistent and fair to both parties involved.”

Richard Childress Racing Statement
Regarding Final Ruling of NASCAR Penalty Appeal

WELCOME, N.C. (October 5, 2010) — The following is a statement from Richard Childress, president and chief executive officer of Richard Childress Racing, regarding the National Stock Car Racing Chief Appellate Officer’s final ruling on the penalty of the No. 33 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team following the September 19 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

“I’m disappointed that the results are not what we wanted, but I feel we received a fair hearing today. The final step in the appeals process is very good, and I can assure you we would not have taken our case to the chief appellate officer if the first step in the process had been as fair as today’s. I want to thank all of the fans for their support. I’m proud to be a part of this sport and proud to represent RCR’s partners. We all need to put this behind us and get back to racing. There are seven races remaining in the Chase, and Richard Childress Racing will continue our focus on winning the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.”

“There are 43 drivers on the race track each Sunday and there is no delineation between Chase participants and non-Chase participants when it comes to respect.

“Everyone at Michael Waltrip Racing is working hard to deliver great results to our owners, employees and sponsors. All organizations have a lot at stake each week as we are all measured by our performance and finishing position. When David Reutimann’s chance to compete for a win at Kansas was taken away, it set off a series of events that have been well documented.

“I stand behind David because his record of sportsmanship is flawless. It is the duty of MWR’s drivers to deliver for Toyota and our other partners, and I expect them to be treated fairly while doing so.”
