Roush strongly denies accusation that oil tank cover was intentionally left off Edwards’ car - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports
Jack Roush says it ain’t so. Not everyone believes him.

Car owner Roush emphatically denied intentional wrongdoing Friday in the wake of NASCAR penalties that knocked driver Carl Edwards out of first place in the Sprint Cup points and put crew chief Bob Osborne on a six-week suspension.

“Jack is mad,” a visibly upset Roush declared as he strode to a podium Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway to respond to Toyota official Lee White’s claim in a published report that Edwards’ No. 99 Roush Fenway Racing team had intentionally taken the cover off the car’s oil tank to gain an aerodynamic advantage.

“He’s a real nice guy,” Roush said of White, a former Roush employee. “I respect him, but he’s also a great racer and would seek any advantage he might think he had an opportunity for.”
