"Now: to more important stuff. I apparently have not been keeping up well with new automotive technology. I must now get a new, NASCAR approved and Roush built, self loosening oil cap for my car.
Why?
According to some Toyota hack:
"On Friday, Lee White, general manager for Toyota Racing Development, told USA Today that removal of the oil cap would provide up to 21 percent more downforce and as much as 50 horsepower. He added that he fully believed the Roush team knew what it was doing going into the race to create an competitive advantage"
If I can get 50 HP and 25% better dowforce at speed from an oil cap loss, then I'm all in on that deal!"

I can't wait til I see ricers at car shows missing the oil caps!! They already have the Nascar decals. :23:

Reminisent of the race in...... what '91ish? We've had flurries down here in middle Ga. as well. Winds a b!tch today!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Brush is winning:mean!:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Nascar should check brush's NW #20 car he has to big of lead:smack:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Brush blew a tire yes!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Matt won in NW I am going get some free fries on monday!:worship:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think Shrub heard about Edwards oil cap trick and figured if one was good, four must be better. Unfortunately the caps he left off were the valve stem caps!!!

Gooooooo Matt (and do it again tomorrow! )

:borg:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I'll switch weather with you. Here in Northeast Ohio I have 16 inches of freaking snow on the ground the winds a b!tch as well and the freaking snow plow hasn't been around for two days so I can't get out and get some of life's necessities like Budweiser and Dorito's. :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

How in the heck can an oil cap increase downforce?
Or HP for that matter?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

You are correct. It was the right call with Edwards. But you are also right that if it were JJ or JG it would be called a favoritism toward the Hendricks teams.:yes:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Money talks when Toyota and GM buys Nascar.:mean!:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I noticed on afew different backstretch camera shots that their is'nt any backstretch seating anymore. It's turn 3 through turn 1. I sat in the backstretch back in '99 when I went to the race. Now it's terrace parking spots for very expensive RV's to camp. Kansas Speedway is set up the same way. But I think sooner or later they'll put backstretch seating in at Kansas.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Sucks for Carl! :(

Re: NASCAR thread
 

No doubt. He was ridin' a rocket thoday (not like the rocket JJ & JG ride). Biffle gave it his all, and Kennseth put on a quietly impressive show as well. Both were better in the end than the Hendricks cars they were up against, and Carl would have had Jr. out of a poduim finish had it not been for bad luck. I'd give congrats to Shrub...but I'm pretty sure he still drivin' a ferrin car...

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Looks like G's favorite won :23:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I went there about 5 or 6 years ago and there were seats on the backstretch. I wonder why they took them out?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

NOT, but you got to admit he's been driving the wheels off everything recently. :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The only thing that enters my mind is that tornado that did alot of damage to the track facilities about 3-4 years ago. Maybe the backstretch seats got ripped up so they decided to just clean it up and make it RV camping. :what:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I saw a lot of empty seats on the front stretch today!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Yes he has.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Literally, in some cases!!!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Alot Southeast Nascar fans don't like the cold, and toyotas.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

The cold and rainy weather they had would have been a real turn off for campers. When I was there in '99 in November it was 35 degrees at night. Pretty cold when your sleeping in a tent. People who stayed away just because they would have to stay in the cold for 4 hours are wussies. And 50 during the day aint cold.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I think that there is a conspiriacy with Nascar to prevent any of the Hendricks cars from winning. I think they want Ford and Toyota to win.

Sound crazy? Your right it is. It's as crazy as some of the goofy talk about favoritism from Nascar to see only Hendricks win. :crazy:

There is no conspiracy, no favoritism, no special treatments. The team with the best driver, setup, team, and some luck on that day is going to win.

It sure did blow for Carl Edwards. He had that race running away. It sucks to see a Toyota come in and win, but we knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

And I see that Roush has figured out the COT. Good for them. There are some real good drivers in that camp. I'm glad to see Ford doing well. The only thing that I don't like about Roush is that the name Fenway is associated with them. I hate any team from the Boston area. LOL
