It's called corporate sponsorship. NA$CAR needs Toyota and vice versa. They have to be nice to one another even though the genearl feeling is the same as yours. Put 'er back in the hauler and go home empty handed.

This is in my opinion is the only way to stop cheating. I know at our local rack if you ant legal you don't race even if you fix the problem you don't run that night.

Re: Unfair to Mikey

I still refer back to my previous post. The idea of sending them home would resolve a lot of these issues but corporate America just will not tolerate it.
