now if they went to back up cars that were built like all the others then they knew they were doing something risky, now if even the bach up car were made the same then I don't know. ?????????

The issue with the Nos. 24 and 48 vehicles stemmed from a 10-inch-wide piece of each car's front fender -- not the COT-specific splitter -- that did not meet NASCAR regulations. The piece in question wasn't one measured by a car template, so the Hendrick crews felt safe in adjusting it.

I assume you mean the backup cars hadn't had the "modifications" made on them.

wouldn't have mattered - once you commit the crime and get caught, there's no "take backs".
