Don't forget your 25 point penalty.
The problem with pointing your finger at someone is that there are at least three other digits on your hand pointing back at you.
When car owner Robert Yates sounded off on Chad Knaus being penalized and suspended for rules infractions after Daytona 500 qualifying in February, little did he know he'd be in the midst of a similar situation three months later.
Knaus was fined and suspended for four races after Jimmie Johnson's car was found to have violations after Daytona's qualifying session.
Yates sounded off in the aftermath, blasting Knaus and Hendrick Motorsports for its actions.
"If there is language in the rule book about not doing that particular thing, then he ought to have to go race the Talladega short track the rest of his life," Yates said.
"If the language covers that area, he should be gone forever. That's just stealing."
But now the shoe is on the proverbial other foot.
NASCAR levied fines and suspensions against Yates' No. 88 team this week after an illegal swaybar was found on the UPS Ford before last Saturday night's race in Richmond.
Driver Dale Jarrett was docked 25 points and Yates 25 owner points. Crew chief "Slugger" Labbe was slapped with a $25,000 fine and suspended for the next four races, a similar penalty as what was handed to Knaus in February.......http://www.racingone.com/column.asp?artnum=28052
