    The Hendrick Motorsports teams of Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson are pushing NASCAR's rules to the limit
    View quote in context »
    Vickers is a former Hendrick driver who gave the Red Bull Toyota team its first Chase competitor this year. "Obviously, the 48 team has crossed that line in the past ... Chad has more fines than anyone in NASCAR history, so that's where the rumors will come from. I'm not insinuating they did last weekend. If they pushed every rule to the limit, that is why they're running good. There's nothing wrong with that. I wish that was us. That's ingenuity. I think that's every team's job." Clearly, the 48 and the 5 are doing that job to perfection. Full Article at ESPN
