Barnhard did the only thing he could do after such a screw up. Revert back to the previous line up and then take the blame. The IRL officials at least should have contacted one or two of the crew chiefs, obviously not the leader though, and asked their opinion. Even USAC will ask over the radio for a thumps up or down from a couple of the drivers if there is a question on something....And you know NASCAR would NEVER admit blame because the TV coverage would never have discussed it on air.......
