NASCAR found some type of chemical substance that was on the inside of his intake. They took that intake system away and the team had to put on another one. On the replacement intake NASCAR found again some type of unknown chemical and this time took the entire car away. End result is that the crew chief and one engineer were fired from Michael Waltrip Racing, and the same two people are "indefinitely" banned by NASCAR for working on any other team.
Needless to say, Toyota was NOT amused either considering the time and money they have pumped into Waltrip's new operation.
