Which of these scenarios seems more likely to you.
1. Michael Waltrip gathers about 150 of his employees back at the race shop and says " I have to make the Daytona 500 even if we have to cheat so let's see what we can come up with ".
2. The crew chief of Michael's team which is one of three working for Michael Waltrip Racing, under enormous pressure to succeed, decides on his own to skirt the rules and got caught.
Either way it was a stupid move with EVERYONE watching what Toyota does.
I don't think Michael would do that knowing what was on the line. BTW the crew chief was fined $100,000 and suspended from NASCAR indefinitely.
