Sauter / Finch Fine Levied after Appeal (was "gag order")

Here's the meat of the article. The commission determined that:

"The modifications to the carburetor represented an unequivocal and substantial
violation of the rules.

"The onus is on the entrant to present a car that is legal at all times. The
onus is not on NASCAR to detect every rules violation at every inspection.

"Parts or equipment on the racecar are not deemed to have been authorized or
approved by reason of having passed through inspection at any time or any number
of times unobserved or undetected.

"Given the blatant nature of the infraction, it is the unanimous decision of the
National Stock Car Racing Commission to

"• Uphold the original penalty against driver Johnny Sauter.

"• Uphold the original penalty against crew chief Joel Shear.

"• Increase the penalty against car owner James Finch to: Disqualification and a
$25,000.00 fine.

"The Appellants have the right under Section 15 of the Rule Book to appeal this
decision to the National Stock Car Racing Commissioner."

This literally gives me the shivers. Sounds pretty decisive!

 Seems like they didn't like being questioned about the penalty so upped the
fine! Not something that brings a whole lot of faith in being fair IMHO.

Here's how the commission works (http://www.jayski.­com/pages/penalties.­htm):

NASCAR's appeal process

1. A written request for an appeal must be made to the National Stock Car Racing
Commission within 10 calendar days of the notice of the penalty.

2. The Chairman of the National Stock Car Racing Commission will set a date and
location.

3. From the pool of 31 commission members, the chairman will be joined by a
minimum of two to constitute a quorum. Commission members are selected based on
their knowledge and experience. They include men and women from a variety of
motorsports backgrounds, some active in the sport and some retired. They include
promoters, industry leaders, and dignitaries from other forms of professional
motorsports.

4. Appeal would be heard; decision handed down.

5. If the team is not satisfied with the decision, they could make a final
appeal to the National Stock Car Racing Commissioner Charles D. Strang. All
decisions by the commissioner are final.

Bottom line--Charles D. Strang(e) an 81 year-old employee of NA$CAR.

"Mr. Strang is a former Kronos Director from January 2001 through December 2002.
He was named National Commissioner of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car
Racing) in 1998 and continues to serve in that capacity. In 1989 Mr. Strang
received President Bush's American Vocation Success Award; in 1992 was elected
to the Hall of Fame of the National Marine Manufacturers Association; in 1990
was awarded the Medal of Honor of the Union for International Motorboating; and
is a life member of the Society of Automotive Engineers. He also currently
serves as a Director of the American Power Boat Association (the U.S. governing
body for powerboat racing) and Senior Vice-President of the Union for
International Motorboating (the world governing body for powerboat racing, with
approximately 60 member nations)."

<http://www.kronosa­ti.com/ablead.html>

"Strang is the National Commissioner for NASCAR, Chairman of the American Power
Boat Association and the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Outboard
Marine Corporation. His highly regarded reputation in the marine industry is
based on a more than 40-year career that includes milestone accomplishments: the
invention of the modern-day stern-drive (inboard/outboard) power system,
evolution of high horsepower outboard motors, dozens of patents in the field of
engine design, marine propulsion devices and powerboats, and the movement of the
marine industry to vertically integrate engine manufacturers with boat
builders."

<http://www.kronosa­ti.com/n010803.html>­

"The Stock Outboard Racing Commission of the American Power Boat Association was
formed in 1949, as an option to the Racing Outboard category. E.C. "Carl"
Kiekhaefer, founder of Mercury, and his brilliant lead engineer, Charles D.
Strang, revolutionized outboard racing. Among their developments was the racing
lower unit. ...
"Entrop built another boat, Starflite III, and on September 17, 1960, using a 90
cubic inch Evinrude, he sizzled across Lake Havasu, Arizona, at 122.979 mph. By
this time, Strang had left Mercury and was offering technical advice to Entrop
and his crew. Strang soon joined Outboard Marine Corporation, eventually
becoming Chairman of the Board."

I'll bet Mr. Strang has a mind of his own.
