A Case Of Intellectual Espionage?

Jack Rousch is blowing a gasket.

Jack Roush’s feud with Toyota is escalating over allegations of “intellectual espionage” — a case many say is much ado about nothing.

Roush has accused an unidentified Toyota team of stealing a swaybar created specifically for Roush Fenway Racing from one of RFR’s teams at last fall’s race at Dover, Del. And he wants NASCAR to make sure the team won’t use information gained “by their ill-gotten means.”

“What’s he doing with stuff just laying around the garage area?” four-time Sprint Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon joked Friday. “If that was a proprietary piece, I’d think that you’d have some tighter grips on it. I think the whole thing is hilarious.”

Apparently the sway bar in question was picked up my mistake and as soon as the team in question realized they had it, they called Rousch. Big controversy huh?

Jack Rousch has had a mad on for Toyota for a long time now and this is the product of said madness. Rousch has gone on record to say that the team that took it was trying to gain an unfair “ill-gotten” advantage because of their intellectual espionage.

This isn’t the first time, nor that last that a team has walked away with a part that was not theirs. I’m sure this isn’t the last time that Jack Rousch will whine about Toyota either.

He’s still sore about the whole oil cover incident I am sure.
