And you know what, the Darby notation you mention is bunk.

Think about it... how many times have you seen a car get trackbar adjustments of two or three rounds on the adjustment screw?

Even one half a round would equate to a quarter inch or more.

Someone is blowing smoke, in addition to the same "problem" if that's what people what to call it is also being used in the NNS.

M (from Full Throttle), I checked his comments out before I wrote this, I have updated my article with a link to the ESPN article that has his quotes. He is talking about Carl Edward's #99 Cup Series car.

As for the rule, there is a rule in place according to NASCAR,

(From ESPN - Series director John Darby said there are no plans to further police the rear housing adjustment, noting NASCAR already has a rule restricting more than a quarter-inch change plus or minus.)

Other than that, I don't know as I don't have a copy of NASCAR's rule book. Thanks for the comment M.

"how is this passing every inspection?"

Maybe because there is no rule that covers how much yaw can be induced via the trackbar. In fact bet on it, and if NASCAR wants/needs a change they will have to gin up an interim rule change.

Secondly, you need to go back and review Jeff Grodon's original comments on excessive yaw, they were made in reference to the NNS series and if you look at those cars they are also using the same tweak to get more side bite.
