The things I've seen over the last seven days have me questioning everything that I believe in, and I'm not happy about it. I don't have anything positive to say and I probably should just leave it at that."
But he didn't. Knowing major penalties are likely for his team, the defending Sprint Cup champion made his feelings clear. "There's so much stuff going on ... you have no ****ing idea what's going on,'' he said. "And that's not your fault and that's not a slam on you. I could tell you there's nobody, no team in this garage with the integrity of the 2 team. And the way we've been treated over the last seven days is absolutely shameful. I feel like we've been targeted over the last seven days more than I've ever seen a team targeted. But my guys kept their heads on straight and they showcased why they are a winning team and championship team. We're not going to take it. We're not going to be treated this way."

Kewelowski is in trouble...Too late to choose his words wisely.
Kewelowski could learn a hard lesson about NASCAR. Despite the failed inspections, NASCAR is serious about fining drivers for their comments – to protect their integrity. Nevertheless, NASCAR has also been inconsistent with rule enforcement.
If the parts are illegal, they are illegal. Teams have been pushing the rules to the limit since the association’s inception in 1949. Moreover, teams will continue to push to gain an advantage on the competition.
I think it was Mulhern who tweeted some of this last night - He is my least favorite NASCAR reporter:
Quote:
Speculation in the garage among rival crew chiefs focused on the possibility of six-week suspensions and $100,000 fines for the two crew chiefs, Paul Wolfe (Keselowski) and Todd Gordon (Logano).
Rivals here Saturday night said Wolfe and Gordon had come up with a way to get around modifying the rear end in order to make the car run better through the corners, with some type of 'floating' rear end. One top crew chief, asking not to be named, said, "They are in deep doo-doo. There is no way to explain that away."
It was not clear why NASCAR inspectors did not discover the rear end issues during Friday inspection here.
