At Rockingham last Friday, #2-Rusty Wallace was quoted in a Dodge news release as saying, “I don’t know why they (Chevrolets) were so good at Daytona. Four or five of them were cheating really, really hard and didn’t get caught. The NASCAR guys know it, and they’re out for them when they get to Talladega.” Wallace didn’t single out any specific teams or drivers, but many in the Chevy camp are wondering why Wallace is alleging that others were cheating when his own team was busted for using an unapproved carburetor in a pre-Daytona 500 qualifying race. Asked to clarify his comments this week, Wallace said, “I’m not making comments about any Chevrolet team. I want to put that on the record. I just thought there were a lot of peculiar things going on, and NASCAR has informed me they’re going to be looking for everybody at Talladega.”( USA Today )(2-27-2003)
