"'You can't hurt me any worse than I am right now,' he said. 'My beautiful 9-year-old asked her mom on Monday why daddy cheated the rules and that will hurt you pretty bad, and [my wife] Buffy said, 'He didn't, honey, we'll figure it out.' It's more than just a job to me and more than just a sport to me. I know NASCAR and Mr. Helton, Brian France, Mr. France and they're my friends, and you never want to disappoint your friends, and I know they are disappointed now in our organization. We continue to aggressively try to pinpoint what happened.
'There's no reason to ever explain why it happened because anybody that would be silly enough to mess with something to do with the fuel, I don't understand how anybody could have done that and why it happened.'"
I have watched the press and the blogsphere tear this man apart over the last few days like he did this and he was responsible. Ultimately, he is the one responsible as it is his organization, but Mike has been around a ling time and I do not think he would have done this. He has said that it was someone in the organization that did it with out his knowledge. I would like to suggest something that I know people will say impossible but they are the ones that say Mike knew about it and have no proof. How about, since the NASCAR garages are so open where competitors freely move about each others cars, or fans move around the cars as well, the thought that someone from outside the organization did this in an attempt to discredit Mike and/or Toyota. To think that Mike would do something this stupid and know that it would be found is stupid in itself. I can not prove my accusations, but remember Jack Rouch said a few weeks ago, 'this is war' in refrence to Toyota entering the market. Could this be a possible firing salvo.
