NASCAR's biggest cheating scandal of the 2008 season may finally be coming to a close for the guilty parties.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Nationwide Series crew members Dave Rogers, Jason Ratcliff and five others from the team all look to resume at-track duties at the season's second race in Los Angeles after the team applied for reinstatement last week.

The 7 team members were suspended by NASCAR indefinitely in August -- among a plethora of other fines and penalties -- after the sanctioning body discovered a plot to manipulate post-race engine data in favor of the Toyota teams following the Nationwide Series event at Michigan International Speedway.
