Joe Gibbs: Dirty Rotten Cheater?

Joe Gibbs, who left the Redskins to spend time with the grandbabies (no, really!), is suddenly wrapped in a cheating scandal that would shame Bill Belichick.

From the Hartford Courant:

"NASCAR inspectors discovered magnets on the gas pedals of the Gibbs No. 18 car and No. 20 car before the cars were set to be tested on a NASCAR dynamometer, which measures horsepower. The magnets essentially served as stops, not allowing the gas pedal to be depressed all the way for the test, which would have skewed the results to show the cars with lower horsepower than they actually have."

Say it ain't so, Joe!

What next, will Gibbs be filming a sex tape?

    NASCAR needs to punish Gibbs Racing with stiff and numerous sanctions. It's not cheating, until you get caught, and Gibbs Racing got caught!

    This sort of news can tarnish NASCAR, so let's hope that the penalties against Joe Gibbs Racing fit the crime. Perhaps that will mean a drop in the points standings for drivers of both cars.
