Cheating again.....why???
Don't these guys realize how many children look up to sports pros? It's hard enough to teach children that winning isn't everything and how to be a good sport/graceful winner/not a sore loser and these jerks make it close to impossible! It seems like it's happening in every possible sport now I'm glad the suspension is indefinite!

Very sad for the sport. I do wish they would realize their role model status, and set a better example for their young fans.

Not surprised at this point. JGR Nationwide series got caught and Sprint Cup boys were on their best behavior. Something is up with JGR and those Toyotas if they are trying to hide something.

It's become almost customary to cheat now to get ahead, whether it's with drugs or ignoring the rules...It's sad really...

That's too bad that they feel the need to cheat.

It definitely is not a good example for our youth.

There is a touch of hope though - quote from the article...

Quote:
"I would like to apologize to the employees and partners of Joe Gibbs Racing," Ratcliff said in a statement. "Because of poor decision making, I have failed you as the leader of this team and I am solely responsible for this situation. Secondly, I apologize to the men and women of NASCAR for my dishonesty and interference during a testing event."..."I accept the penalties imposed by NASCAR and Joe Gibbs Racing and make no excuses," Rogers said.
I'm glad they aren't denying it and stepping up and accepting their part.
