Former Employee Sues RCR
RCR is being sued by a former employee:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14946363/ Former employee says RCR used illegal engines Updated: 10:57 p.m. ET Sept 21, 2006 CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A former employee of Richard Childress Racing says in a wrongful termination lawsuit that the team used illegal engine modifications at this year’s Daytona 500 events, including in the car of polesitter Jeff Burton. When Childress was told of the problem, the owner responded by saying: “All teams do something to enhance performance,” according to the lawsuit, filed by Anthony Corrente and reported Thursday on the Charlotte Observer’s Web site. In a statement issued Thursday night, Childress said the allegations in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Mecklenberg County Superior Court, are “absolutely untrue.” |

NASCAR never said anything. I suppose it could be said that it's a giant conspiracy and NASCAR just doesn't want to admit that one of their top teams was cheating, but it seems unlikely because they have been cracking down majorly on cheating and RCR and Hendrick have been caught and punished severely in the last year. It is possible that RCR did it, but if they didn't get caught then more power to them, stock car racing used to be about finding ways to get around the rules and over the last 15 years or so this has pretty much vanished.
To me it sounds like the guy got fired and wants to get RCR to settle with him for probably an insane amount of money. The claim is probably more a case of trying to have leverage in the case than actually being true. At least that's my personal opinion. J.D. |

Chances are it will be settled and we'll never know the outcome. If it goes to trial it might be next year before anything gets done with it.
