Ever since that "win" they have run like garbage and are in danger of missing the playoffs. Here is another fact. The 2 crew got busted for having their Jackman body slam the side of there car for an aero advantage (when the 1 crew got busted for it too). And got busted on National TV no less. Don't let the hypocrite door hit you on the @$$ too hard. 22. HouseOfPenske posted: 07.14.2017 - 7:23 pm Rate this comment: (0) (2) andddddd the 42 fails post qualifying inspection.

Jolly Mean Giant posted: 07.14.2017 - 7:57 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Love how HouseofPenske is completely ignoring and throwing out the fact that Logano got caught cheating and basically got his win taken away in every way but the official win total to continue hammering it home that the #42, #78, and #18 are disgusting, disgraceful cheaters. Because apparently Penske's saintly compared to everybody else. So therefore we should disregard any wrong doing they might have done to focus on this instead. Nobody's saying you are necessarily wrong because as we all know every major team in the history of ever HAS tried to cheat, but we ARE saying you are being majorly hypocritical. If you're this incensed that the #42/#78/#18 might be cheating every week yet cried fowl and complained that NASCAR was unfair or too harsh when they encumbered Joey's win because he drives for your favorite team, yes, that makes you the perfect dictionary definition of a hypocrite. 25. 2 & 88 Fan posted: 07.14.2017 - 7:57 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) "@15 Did you not see 42 get a 35 point penalty last week?

JSPorts posted: 07.14.2017 - 8:43 pm Rate this comment: (3) (0) Here are the FACTS: since 2011, here's how many points every driver/team has been penalized. 23 drivers have received penalties. 1st: Martin Truex, Jr., 81 points 2nd: Clint Bowyer/Ryan Newman, 75 points 4th: Brad Keselowski, 66 points 5th: Kyle Larson, 65 points 6th: Brian Vickers/Joey Logano, 50 points 8th: A.J. Allmendinger, 45 points 9th: Aric Almirola/Paul Menard, 35 points 11th: Matt Kenseth, 27 points 12th: Danica Patrick/Jeff Gordon, 25 points 14th: Greg Biffle/Kasey Kahne/Timmy Hill, 15 points 17th: Austin Dillon/Brian Scott/Kevin Harvick/Kurt Busch/Michael McDowell, 10 points 22nd: Kyle Busch/Tony Stewart, 6 points 13 teams have received penalties. 1st: Michael Waltrip Racing, 181 points 2nd: Richard Childress Racing, 130 points 3rd: Team Penske, 116 points 4th: Chip Ganassi Racing, 65 points 5th: Stewart-Haas Racing, 51 points 6th: JTG Daugherty Racing, 45 points 7th: Hendrick Motorsports, 40 points 8th: Richard Petty Motorsports, 35 points 9th: Joe Gibbs Racing, 33 points 10th: Furniture Row Racing, 25 points 11th: Premium Motorsports/Roush Fenway Racing, 15 points 13th: Leavine Family Racing, 10 points Larson ranks below Keselowski but above Logano. Penske ranks just ahead of Ganassi. 27. Sector posted: 07.14.2017 - 9:21 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #26 the fact that I don't see Jimmie Johnson on there is...actually mighty shocking. Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon barely has any compared to the other competitors while Dale Jr isn't on the list either. HMS really hasn't been trying all that much since then huh? #15 Just a heads up. It's "you're." 28. Corey posted: 07.14.2017 - 9:40 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Another thing to add is that while Truex leads the drivers, that mostly comes from his days at Michael Waltrip Racing (spingate?). This is evident by the fact that Furniture Row only has 25 points themselves. @23 If NASCAR wanted the JGR Evil Empire to win the championship, then why does JGR have zeros wins so far. 29. Gelato101 posted: 07.14.2017 - 10:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Worth noting that might not give a good picture as to who is cheating or not since it's all penalties. For example, Jeff's 25 points were from his 2012 Phoenix incident with Bowyer 30. Ultimate Warrior #18 posted: 07.14.2017 - 10:00 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) So Larson failed inspection again? 31.

The Target #42 Chevrolet initially won the pole for this race but the Ganassi squad had it stripped due to the penalty that disallowed their time. Oh well, Larson went from 40th to second last week so it will be interesting to see how he races on Sunday this time. 38. Mannoroth posted: 07.15.2017 - 1:02 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) 24. & 33. HouseofPenske is in his own world. He writes the same sh*t when Kyle Busch wins some Xfinity or Truck race as well, but when somebody from Penske wins, "everything's great". And all the Penske boyz just can't do or be wrong, right? Just like Mark Martin, whose buschwhacking for Roush was absolutely okay, huh? He even called Kyle Busch "The Golden Boy of NASCAR", because there were reports of possible oil of the track during the Kentucky race in Xfinity, but they didn't throw a caution when Kyle was in the lead. But those 2 cases, when they robbed Kyle at Darlington (was leading with less than 10 to go and they threw a caution for a minor spin of one car, because the other car behind him was unpatient) or at Phoenix (Kyle was in the lead and they threw a caution for a slow car on track that was able to get into pits and Kyle was like 50 meters from the start/finish line in the next-to-last lap) in 2014, are what? Nothing? Of course there's something wrong, when Ryan Blaney was the fastest car on the track and possible caution would help him beat Kyle. However, there wasn't any caution and Blaney didn't run down Kyle in time. Bad luck, plain & simple... 39.

Jimmie Johnson got dinged for jumping Truex on the initial start and was penalized back in the pack by a drive-through penalty. Remember NASCAR is on NBCSN right now with IndyCaf from Toronto on CNBC and reairing on NBCSN later. 44. racefangurl posted: 07.16.2017 - 3:40 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) 23, so you think there's NOTHING illegal about the 42? NASCAR's just pretending so Toyotas will dominate the year? If you do, that's dumb. I think they're walking a thin line*, trying to bend the rules and they bend them so far, they snap. The thin line between the what's allowed or not, working in the gray area. 45. RaceFanX posted: 07.16.2017 - 3:43 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Erik Jones crashes hard right after the restart following a tire failure and the #77 5-Hour Energy Toyota is tore up pretty bad. He made contact on pit road with Kasey Kahne during the pit stops on the previous yellow and it resulted in a cut tire that blew right after the restart. Jones is out of this race. Earlier this week Joe Gibbs Racing announced what everyone suspected for quite a while, Jones will move to the mothership next year to take over the #20 from the departing Matt Kenseth. 46.

Joe Gibbs Racing was winless the entire first half of the 2017 (first 18 races), while the 2nd half begins (this being the 19th race of the 36 race schedule) with a Joe Gibbs Racing winning, thanks to Denny Hamlin. With next week being Indianapolis, where Kyle Busch won the past two races there, as well as a complete dominate performance, will Joe Gibbs win two in a row? This is the second week in a row where Kyle Larson failed inspection and couldn't qualify, ended up starting dead last, but STILL manage to come up short with a 2nd place finish. 88.
