Race 27: Homestead

NOVAR Officals concerned about lap 80 incident

NOVAR
Officals were concerned about the lap 80 incident when Shane Hardon
intetionally drove the 98 into the apron after contact with the 98.It
was a main concern that Eddie Johns may have told Hardon to intetionally
take out the #98 as Clarke tried to pass him. "I would really dobut
that Johns would never do this" - Brad Schrallet, Owner of Mobil 1
Racing. If Hardon is pleaded gulty of wreckless drivng under command by
Johns, Hardon could face up to a $250,000 fine and be suspened for Blue
Ridge, a track which Hardon got a 4th place finish in the 2010
running.If Johns got pleaded to have the 57 take out the 98, Johns third
victory could be revolked,possibly giving Shane Howard his second win
of the year as a result."We are now currently under investigation, we
going to look in all radio activity from lap 78 through 81." - Brian
Sweeney, Chairman of NOVAR."As I was trying to get into Turn 1, I backed
off after my roughing up on the 57, but the 57 would not let me get the
line he wanted." - Shane Clarke III, Driver of #98. Hardon was warned
of a simular situation at California when with about 48 laps to go,
Hardon spun SCIII into Jke Jaze Jr. on the backstrech, however no
intentions of wreckless drivng under command were put into play.

Jake

causing both 72 and 76 to spin. While in the garage Keerlin had
approached Logan and started to throw punches on Chin. Keerlin then
walked away from the garage to the NOVAR hauler.More details are to
come.
