DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Jimmie Johnson's crew chief was thrown out of the Daytona 500 on Monday for illegal modifications made to Johnson's car during qualifying.
Chad Knaus was accused of raising the rear window on the No. 48 Chevrolet to alter aerodynamics during Johnson's run Sunday. The infraction was discovered in a post-qualifying inspection when the car failed to fit NASCAR templates.
NASCAR said Knaus cannot appeal the ejection.
NASCAR also said the team is subject to additional penalties, which would not be announced until after Sunday's Daytona 500.

Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
Told you about Chad's bald spot!
I think this is the best story I've heard out of Daytona so far!!!
I knew Jimmie & Chad were nothing but a bunch of cheaters!!!
**evil laugh** directed towards JJ tho...
I like Chad. I confess. He's my favorite crew chief. Any guy who's favorite word is fuck and isn't afraid to tell you about it is ok with in my book. Well, not just any guy I guess.**foot in mouth**
He needs to come over to "our" side.
But oh well such as it goes...you play you pay...
Aw....come on...they are ALL a bunch of cheaters if they canget away with it. Jeesh!! What is this sport about anyway? LOSING??
I think Chad Knaus is a genius. He is actually one of my favorite crew chiefs too, but I don't like his driver.
He just got busted doing his "creative engineering" again.
