That Johnson and Knaus are cheating. This is only my opinion, mind you, so there is no slander involved here.
Jeff Gordon is arguably the best race car driver in Cup. Like him or hate him, no one can argue with his talent. His numbers prove it.
So, is it anywhere in the relam of possibility, or probability, that he can begin to suck as soon as Johnson moves to Cup? Gordon hasn't won a championship since Johnson came to Cup, and Johnson has no only won a championship, but 4 in a row. The laws of probability do not favor that.
I do not believe that Hendrick Motorsports is cheating. If they were, and assuming Rick Hendrick is a money gabbing idiot, which I do not, than would it not stand to reason that he would want all of his cars doing the same thing? I think so, but they aren't. In fact, it can be safely stated, that Dale Junior, well, quite frankly, he sucks. Personally I don't think Junior is as good as his fans think he is, BUT he is a damn good race car driver. It seems to me that he should be running at least as well as Gordon and Martin. he isn't.
So I personally think that of all the crew chiefs at HM it is Chad Knaus, and Chad Knaus alone, who is cheating. No one can be that good that often. Jeff Gordon/Ray Evernham weren't, Richard Petty/Dale Inman weren't and Dale Earnhardt/Larry Mac weren't. No one is and I do not believe that Johnson/Knaus are either.
I think they are using traction control... you can turn it on and off with a cell phone from 10,000 miles away so to say if he had TC he wouldn't be able to do a burnout after the race is just plain wrong. But I think it's more than traction control. I think there's more to it and some day someone has to figure it out.
There is one thing that possibly points to a decision by Hendrick Motorsports to cheat... what better way to take heat off the 48 car, than to have the 88 be so bad? people are so concerned with why Junior sucks, that they aren't paying close enough attention to the team they need to watch.
A few years ago Rusty Wallace was getting pole after pole and Jack Roush finally got tired of it and put up the hundred grand needed to call them out. So at Sonoma, all of the crew chiefs gathered in the garage and watched as NASCAR tore the 2 car apart. Every piece of it was torn off the car and measured. And the car was legal and Roush lost his hundred grand. I think thats what makes owners scared to make accusations now.
But suppose for a second that Rick Hendrick knew. Is it possible that they are giving slightly inferior pieces to the 88, and 24 cars, just to be able to say, "See, we aren't cheating, or those two would be winnign races."
