Penske/Logano Cheating Allegations Reveal David Gilliland Still Running Cup



Nascar was rocked by a second cheating scandal today, as new audio uncovered by The UFC & Football Network (aka Fox Sports 1) revealed that Penske Racing may have induced Front Row Motorsports to have their driver David Gilliland give up a position to Joey Logano.  Reaction to the news has ranged from outrage to shock that David Gilliland is still racing full-time in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series.
"You mean there actually is a
David Gilliland?  Good Lord!
This changes everything!"
"Honestly, I can't believe that he's still around", said longtime Nascar fan Steve Scott.  "I remember him getting that win in the Busch Series--I think it was called the Busch Series then--and then I think he was in the M&M's car for a few years, but I thought he'd have been retired or running in the K&N West Series by now.  Guess ya learn something new every day."
Front Row and Penske are both part of the Ford racing camp, although it remains to be seen if there were any manufacturer orders handed down to the surprisingly not-retired Gilliland.
Nascar, meanwhile, has said that they are looking into the issue but have yet to find anything conclusive.
"We continue to listen closely to the in-car audio of Joey Logano and David Gilliland, and we--wait, David Gilliand?  The guy from the Fred Credit car?", said Nascar spokesman Clayton Wilson.  "I thought he lost his ride when (David) Ragan joined the team.  Well, guess ya learn something new every day."
David Gilliland was unable to be reached for comment, and may or may not have a working phone line.  However, Spade Racing was able to get a comment from the beneficiary of this possible cheating, Joey Logano:
"While I can't speak for my team personnel, I can say with a fair amount of certainty that these accusations are wildly false.  Really--who would believe that my team would make a deal with David Gilliland.  The guy ran his last Cup race about three years ago!  Why don't you just throw in some other retired drivers, like Lake Speed or Josh Wise."
