must not have been "within the rules" at all times. Or may be he just bent

Donahue and Penske pushed the rules to the limit, but the book is makes
it clear how offended they were wheneve anyone suggested that they were
"cheating". They generally felt that they won by working harder than the
next guy beginning with reading the rulebook and carrying through to
polishing the car before the race.
