I seem to remember Julius Peppers, by rule, getting a four game suspension. He lost rookie of the year, which he would have won. His team missed the playoffs. He was embarrassed and chastised publically.
Every sport, job, or situation where there are humans will have cheaters. It's just a given. Nascar, however, has a culture of cheating that is not sport. Whole teams cheat -from the crew cheifs on down. I don't see them getting sidelined for four races, getting their points stripped, and getting their salaries taken for the events they missed.
These are real consequences for breaking rules. Nascar, nope, doesn't have them.

Ken Caminiti is a horse's ass. Please tell me we can all agree that we wouldn't take anything that he says for face value.
Again, cheating exists individually in every human pursuit. It is different in Nascar, for two reasons:
1. Whole teams cheat.
2. There are no severe consequences (rules) for doing so. Nascar is to scared to make them, let alone enforce them.
This undermines the credibility of Nascar as a 'sport'.
