Intercepted at O’Reilly Raceway Park
Unconfirmed reports, from completely impeachable sources, claim to have intercepted the following email from Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition to Brian France CEO and chairman of NASCAR:
“Oh Great One:”
Subject: “Sweet Revenge“.
“I want that kids ‘Jewels’ hanging in my N.C. office by Sunday night!’ How dare he usurp my all-encompassing authority (granted by you, The Exalted One) as Competition Director by making a mockery of yet another NNS event!
“Furthmore, I intend to have on the street by close of business Monday a new and improved Nationwide Series technical bulletin to cover the #18, #20 and any random number Kyle Busch may or may not drive during next weeks ‘NAPA Auto Parts 200′ at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve”.
“Henceforth, any and all NNS entries Kyle Busch may, or may not drive, any and all NNS entries Gibbs Racing may, or may not enter will compete with an additional 400 pounds added to minimum vehicle weight.”
“The bulletin will also call for Gibbs Racing NNS engines with a cylinder-bore spacing of more than 4.470 inches to carry a tapered spacer (restrictor plate) with four 0.500-inch diameter openings (reserving the right to reduce to two 0.500-inch diameter openings).
That’s 0.600 inch less than the previous opening and is expected to reduce horsepower to the level of Petty Enterprises, BAM Racing, Wood Bros. and the BLMR.”
“Sir, The Exalted One, signer of my over-compensating paycheck, I stand at the ready to impose further technical bulletins after Indy if anything resembling a Gibbs entry is within 20 laps of a checkered flag Sunday.”
Signed, your humble[d] Competition Director Robin Pemberton.
