Joe Gibbs Racing back on top

A week after NASCAR levied severe penalties on the Nationwide Series teams for Joe Gibbs Racing, Kyle Busch had them back on top at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
Busch won the Nationwide Series race in Fontana on Saturday night after the his No. 18 team and the No. 20 team were penalized for attempting to alter the dyno test data the teams provide to NASCAR.
The Joe Gibbs Racing teams have dominated the Nationwide Series this year. In an effort to make the series more competitive, NASCAR submitted guidelines to the Joe Gibbs Racing teams that were intended to reduce the horsepower in their engines.
Members of the team tried to alter the tests and those crew members, including both team's crew chiefs, received suspensions from NASCAR and Joe Gibbs Racing.
Busch said after winning the Nationwide Series race that those left on his crew rose to the challenge and gave him a great car.
"These guys are pumped up, they're excited," Busch said. "It doesn't matter if you win a late model race, a Nationwide race, truck race or Cup race - you never know when your last one is going to be so this one means a lot. These crew guys have had a lot of adversity on them in the past few weeks and they don't deserve the bad rap they've got."
Busch is familiar with the NASCAR police. He was put on probation after trying to spin out Carl Edwards after the Cup race at Bristol last weekend. Both drivers are on probation for the next six races, starting with the Cup race at Fontana.
"I don't care about my bad rap but these guys here are the ones that work hard at the shop and do all the hard work so I really have to thank these guys," Busch said.
