AND Following post-qualifying inspections, NASCAR tossed the speeds of drivers #12-Tim Fedewa and #14-Casey Atwood, sending both to the rear of the field for Saturday’s race. NASCAR spokesman Rick Houston said the teams pushed the roof flaps up in an effort to have the air pushing on the car pass over and avoid the rear spoiler. NASCAR officials also had discussions with the crew chiefs of Bowyer and Hornaday over an undisclosed issue, but eventually both were announced as having passed inspection.(ThatsRacin.com)
