Clint Bowyer NASCAR Appeal Set for Wednesday, Odds Not in His Favor
Filed under: Clint Bowyer, Chase for the Sprint Cup, Richard Childress Racing, NASCAR
As convinced as NASCAR team owner Richard Childress and his driver Clint Bowyer may be that their team did nothing illegal and doesn't deserve the massive penalty it received last week, the odds of them winning their appeal Wednesday aren't good.The National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel, NASCAR's court, has denied 66 percent of appeals (88-of-132) brought before it since 1999, according to statistics released by NASCAR. Only 31 percent of the appeals have had the penalty reduced or completely overturned. And twice, the Appeals Panel actually increased the punishment.
Childress said Friday his 34-year-old team has rarely used the process and is 0-for-3 in appeals as far as he can remember.
"All I'm going to ask for is a fair appeal,'' Childress said. "That's what the appeal is for, to have an appeal board to hear both sides of the story. Hopefully we can present a case enough to know that being bumped pretty severe a couple of times by a tow truck is enough to move it (Bowyer's car) sixth thousandths (of an inch).''
F1 teams reach new cost-saving deal
Formula 1 teams have made a major breakthrough to help reduce costs in the sport over the next few years after rubber-stamping a new Resource Restriction Agreement (RRA) in Singapore at the weekend, AUTOSPORT has learned. Teams had headed to Singapore fearing that the current RRA, which ran from last year until the end of next season, was on the brink of falling apart - amid suspicion that some outfits had found clever ways of getting around the agreed cost restraints. High level sources suggested that if the suspicions could not be alleviated, and teams were unwilling to agree on interpretations on how their costs should be calculated, then there was a possibility the deal could fall apart completely and F1 would face another all-out spending war

Today is interesting
It was a late last night as I was working until around 3 in the morning. Then when my alarm went off at 8, i didn\'t even remember it going off, but luckily I had a paranoid dream of waking up late and I woke up right on time at 8:30 to get to work today. Nevertheless, I\'m at work, but definitely tired today.
