Las Vegas Sun's John Kats: Liar?

From todays Las Vegas Sun's Kats report: The hosing of Stewart was the pivotal moment in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but it was lost on most of us sitting in the Dale Earnhardt Terrace as we watched the supercharged stock cars shriek out of Turn 4 and down the front straightaway.
It was clear that on the 151st lap, something unexpected had forced Stewart from the lead, where he had driven with numbing efficiency for almost the entire race, to the back of the field.
I asked the race fans seated nearby. What happened to Stewart? Why was he being pushed to the back of the class, other than he is Tony Stewart and he sometimes runs afoul of the rules? No one knew. You could not hear any updates on the speedway’s sound system,...

Clearly, the author of the artile, John Katsilometes, states he was at the race, but was he?

The triumph, the money and the wrench-shaped championship trophy went instead to Agent 99 Carl Edwards, described as such for his easy-to-locate Ford Fusion painted with that number and the Aflac insurance company logo (emphasis mine)

Small problem- Carl Edwards was not in his AFLAC car, but his Scott Seeds. There was a small decal on the car, but not really visable from the grandstands.

Carl Edwards in his AFLAC car. There is a huge difference between the cars.

Further, Kats claims credit for photos taken on sunday of the scoring tower and people watching the race action on TV's on the concourse.

First, there were no TV monitors of the race anywhere on the main concourse, which runs the entire front stretch of the track.

Second, as far as the picture of the scoring tower is concerned, (and you have to look at the picture in the article) how come none of the lights on scoring tower is not lit? Maybe because the picture was not done on Sunday? The pictures with the scoring tower are from another day. On Sunday, that picture would have been filled with motorhomes and car haulers/trailers along with safety equipment. The picture shows neither. Further, the 4 pick up trucks with trailers were not there on Sunday. That crane was not by the scoring tower on Sunday. The cranes were used to take the stands by the start finish line back to where they belong and they did not come back to that location. Before that, they were parked on the front stretch.

So, was John "Katz" Kastsilometes really at the event or was he reporting what his friends said and wrote what he thought was right? This was not a simple mistake, even if you are an amateur. The camera pictures Kats really do show that he was not there.

So, Kastsilomentes need to prove he was there at the race or he needs to come clean about what really happened. otherwise, he needs to resign or be fired.

Kats response from the same article:
SaveLasVegas, yes, I was at the race. Note the photo credits from the pictures taken during the race at the track, the ones that say "John Katsilometes." That's me. I eliminated the reference to Aflac, which was not nearly so noticeable as the No. 99 (or, 66, if you were watching the race while standing on your head) on Edwards' car. And BeSafe, I used "supercharged" as a general term synonymous with "highly charged" or even "really fast," and have since swapped "really fast" for "supercharged" as to not confuse the reader. Thanks one and all!

No, John, I still don't believe you and your response is pathetic. Come clean, John. Please tell the truth.
