So it was a set up thing. They could have run more ride height and not worn it down as much.

And look at the outcry when they did that for Daytona?

But I do agree more consistency is needed. It's hard to justify a team who obviously cheated keeping a win, where a team who arguably pushed too close to the edge on set up, get everything taken away.
