What happens here

The Confiscated Parts display cabinet is revisited, showcasing various illegal modifications and parts that were confiscated from race cars. Items include weighted goggles, a digital ignition box, a hydraulic pump for aerodynamics, and a nitrous oxide bottle cleverly concealed in a cooler. A humorous quote on the cabinet states: 'It's only illegal if you get caught!' This section highlights the constant cat-and-mouse game between NASCAR teams and officials.

Goal: Discover examples of illegal modifications and the stories behind them.

What they say

Yeah. You got a whole confiscated parts section in here. This How could you just walk right by this? I knew you would stop. This is the coolest cabinet in here. I knew you would stop. The majority of them have you know what it is, what the part is, and and what the problem was. Um helmet with lead in it that weighs 40 lbs. Was that Daryl's helmet? It's um listen all every you could talk to the team the new teams of today. You can talk to the old teams of the day. You can talk to Richard Petty. You can talk to Leonard Wood. They all back in the day tried to get around the rules. That was the way that they could, you know, try to win. And uh but we needed goggles. A lot of times they got caught. Well, you remember earlier this year, you know, the whole uh deal with Joey Logano and his gloves, you know, so the same. It's still, you know, you're always trying to look for an advantage. Now, why doesn't it say who these were confiscated from? I do not know that. This should not be anonymous. We need accountability. Nitrous oxide cooler bottle. Funny, we actually met Tim Walker because of the car that he has. I really want to know whose helmet that was. That's the closedfaced helmets of that era were not super common. I couldn't imagine wearing a 40 lb
