been getting this question: Why was Jarrett’s team allowed in the garage late/early to work on the #88, isn’t that unfair? Speed Magazine answers: Although there were questions about Jarrett’s crew staying late in the NASCAR garage Saturday and getting in the NASCAR garage early Sunday, it is considered normal practice. NASCAR director of operations Kevin Triplett said Jarrett’s team was not given any extra benefits that other NASCAR teams wouldn’t have received if they had wrecked in practice the day before a race — UPDATE: Bill Elliott’s team also stayed late and came in early as they had to fix the #94 Ford due to damage from the same incident(2-21-2000)
