I recall “if you ain’t cheating’ you ain’t tryin’” has been a part of NASCAR since getting more money than running shine.

The top competitors of any sport tend to inherently filter for those who are willing to go to extreme lengths to win.

Something something Lance Armstrong…good point I think you made.

Motorsports generally have a rule like, "safety violation deemed at official's discretion". The wikipage on NASCAR rules looks like it has just such a rule.
