At least one former Roush Racing crew chief believes NASCAR was more than easy on Edwards and company considering the infraction found at Dover in post race inspection.
"The car was low in the rear and not just a little bit low," said the crew chief after requesting anonymity. "Bringing down the rear in the car of tomorrow lifts the front end thereby giving it more travel. It also reduces the amount of rear downforce which brings the car into a better balance front to rear."
NASCAR officials determined the Edwards-driven Ford was clearly outside the allowed post race tolerances. And, if you consider the words of this one highly respected crew chief, being to low in the rear was a definite advantage when applied to the car of tomorrow.
