Who wanted racecars?

Michael Waltrip - Cheaters Hall of Shame in 2007:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2007/02/16/driver-waltrip-apologizes-for-team-part-in-nascar-daytona-500-fuel-scandal.html

[quoteThe two-time Daytona 500 winner, who lost two key crew members Wednesday when NASCAR penalized his team for using a fuel additive, said he had to be talked into racing by his wife and Toyota officials who are seething that Waltrip tainted their Nextel Cup debut.

"I didn't want to damage the integrity of the sport further by going out there and having people think, 'What's he doing out there?"' Waltrip said. "I came real close to not running today."][/quote]

Cheaters Hall of Fame in 2011:

Thrown out of the Hall of Fame in 2013 and ultimately out of the sport due to an itchy arm:

First, at Richmond, Bowyer spun himself out to try to help Truex make the Chase. Then Vickers, who was piloting the No. 55 Toyota, was ordered onto pit road late by the team's general manager, Ty Norris, in another blatant attempt to try to manipulate the race so that Truex would advance to the playoffs.

Here's Dale Earnhardt casually screwing with tech inspection



Here's the Joe Gibbs team reducing drag off the front of the car at Watkins Glen, on a sunny day without a cloud in the sky:

Stopped the air from hitting the roof cam, yeah. I forget how much drag that took off.

If we're talking NHL hockey, there's Martin Brodeur. :rimshot:

Also, I guess Marty McSorley in the 93 Cup finals with the illegal stick counts?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Stanley_Cup_Finals

quote:

The turning point of the series for the Canadiens came late in the third period of game two. With the Kings leading by a score of 2–1, Canadiens coach Jacques Demers called for a measurement of the curve of Kings defenceman Marty McSorley's stick. The stick was deemed illegal and McSorley was given a two-minute minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. As it was late in the game and Montreal was facing the prospect of going to Los Angeles down two games to none, Demers pulled goalie Patrick Roy, producing a 6-on-4 advantage for the Canadiens. Montreal's Éric Desjardins scored from the point to tie the game at two and force overtime. Desjardins then scored his third goal of the game 51 seconds into overtime to give Montreal the win and the momentum heading toward games three and four at the Great Western Forum.
