sounds to me like it was an accident. and then when the realized what they had taken, they figured why not see if there's anything they can use.

If Jr. thinks Nascar should pull Mikey's credentials, which is basicaly his Nascar drivers liscense, he doesnt think it was a mistake.

A hard card would be his Nascar credentials. That would be kind of harsh I think.

One of Mikey's crew members took an experimental sway bar from Rousch's hauler. Mikey said he found the item in his shop, knew it wasnt his and checked in to it.

it wasn't taken from the hauler. it was taken from the garage area. sounds like it was sitting next to the 55 team's bars and in a rush to pack up after a race, somebody grabbed it on accident.

My bad, it did happen in the garage area. This is part of what is posted on nascar's site...

"It was not a part that would have been mixed up with other Toyota parts, a front anti-roll sway bar ... we designed our own part and we did an analysis of it. We optimized the torsional effect of it with minimizing the weight of it through heat treating ...," Roush said.

The sway bar had a distinctive paint job, was numbered and uniquely configured, Roush continued.

"They wouldn't fit somebody else's car unless they copied it," he added. "The other team, the non-descript Toyota team, went behind my toolbox and took my bar out of my inventory and put it with their inventory and took it home with them. That's the fact."

Still, Waltrip maintains his innocence and said on an average race weekend there are more than 70 racing vehicles in a NASCAR garage and that parts get strewn about and mistakes are made.

"If I truly felt if someone purposely got it for any specific reason, I could see why he's upset," Waltrip said.

Upon the return of his sway bar, Roush believes the appearance of the part was altered and said the incident has yet to be resolved.

"We are still considering what, if any, legal action we'll seek in the public sector," he said.

That still sounds a little harsh for something that cannot be proven as intentional, doesnt it?

Many in the sport think so, including Jeff Gordon. Apparently this sort of thing happens frequently. If it can be proven intentional, I don't think it would be overly harsh, but I would make it temporary the first time. You are taking away a man's job.
