NASCAR To Re-Define “Suspension”
It seems NASCAR isn’t too pleased with the fact that Tony Eury Jr. was actually ‘near’ the track, helping his team.
Funny thing though, after reading this article, I’m not sure if they are mad at him for being there, or for being seen there.
When NASCAR suspended crew chief Tony Eury Jr. for six weeks, he figured he’d take his wife on an overdue Hawaiian vacation.
Then he found a loophole in his punishment: Although he couldn’t be in the garage area, NASCAR wasn’t banning him from track property. And he was only forbidden from using the team’s radio communications, but text messaging, cell phones and instant messenger were fine to use.
So Eury called off the trip to Maui and traveled to five of the six races he was suspended from to support driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.
One thing’s for sure. He ruined it for everyone else. Including his wife. Hmm. Let’s see. Relaxing in Maui or sitting on a motorhome watching a race?
I bet his wife isn’t too pleased either.
