They could have stayed on his car and not penalize their driver for the actions of his owner. If they stayed on the car and demanded all non driver winnings go to a charity of their choosing. The #56 workers continue to be employed...Martin continues to race, and every time he moves into a higher points position, the story would be that NAPA is donating another $ to the charity due to the scandal. Michael stays alive to fight another day, Martin keeps his ride, and everyone keeps their job. maybe not a perfect situation, but a better situation for the blameless workers who will soon be unemployed.<br /><br />Ty Norris is not a bad guy, he got carried away...got caught up in the moment and made a mistake...given the chance, I know he can make it right. The sport needs him...the sport needs Michael Walthrip and MWR.<br /><br />MWR needs to repent and move on...If you've never made a mistake...raise your hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-42154478265171158192013-09-25T17:51:47.728-04:002013-09-25T17:51:47.728-04:00He can't go to SHR even if he wanted to, they ...He can't go to SHR even if he wanted to, they already have the max numbers of cars and drivers set for next year, which is 4.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737714150835703874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-36723125829063265312013-09-25T11:50:05.026-04:002013-09-25T11:50:05.026-04:00I like Martin Truex.

Perhaps. Even if he leaves MRW he will leave for other offers. What about the folks working hard at MWR who may not get such offers? It's them I am more concerned for. It is them who will suffer from this error in judgment if anyone does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-19106809078391204192013-09-25T10:54:26.275-04:002013-09-25T10:54:26.275-04:00I hope NAPA stays with Truex and they go over to R...I hope NAPA stays with Truex and they go over to RCR or some good outfit.

Goes along with the law of unintended consequences which is something that NASCAR is quite masterful at doing. From the cookie cutter tracks that produced high speed parades instead of races, to the COT which didn't race worth a darn, to the chase which made everyone count points every single week ad nauseum. The final straw was having team orders come into play because of the chase which affected not just MWR and its drivers, but NASCAR and the fans, too.
