Penske: team was working in the gray area:

Roger Penske maintained Saturday his team was working in a gray area of the rule book when NASCAR confiscated parts from the cars of defending Sprint Cup champion #2-Brad Keselowski and teammate #22-Joey Logano. ‘I certainly dont think its cheating’ Penske told The Associated Press on Saturday at the IndyCar race in Long Beach. ‘You are looking at the rules and you are working in a gray area. We all work in the gray areas. Were trying to be as competitive as we can be, weve got very creative minds and it takes a lot of creative minds to be competitive. There are many different areas we are all working on. We just looked at a particular rule that maybe NASCAR has a different view of. Now well get a chance to have an unbiased panel look at it.”(full story at the Associated Press )
