Nothing quiet about NASCAR's off week.

Just when you thought there was enough drama in NASCAR, Jack Rousch, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing has dropped a serious accusation against Toyota. According to ESPN the Magazine's latest issue, Rousch told one of magazine's reporters that an unnamed Toyota team was found to be in possession of a proprietary Rousch-Fenway part! Over the course of the week, Toyota has claimed the part in question is a spring and was found after the Atlanta race following a post race tear down conducted by NASCAR. Toyota insists they have no idea how the part came into their possession and the infraction was completely unintentional. Toyota says they have returned the spring. Roush-Fenway maintains the part was a spring, but would not elaborate any further. Keep an eye on this one, it could get ugly. Maybe Congress will get involved, apparently they don't have anything else to do!
