With the Xfinity race earlier today, I have to assume the cup cars had to be removed from the track, presumably in their haulers. If overnight modifications were not permitted, how did NASCAR insure teams complied. Did officials supervise the loading and the put seals on the haulers?

How/why NASCAR decide on the size (5/8?) for the truck series? Same question w/regard to engine specs.

Rockingham was out first NASCAR race. Still talk about it almost 30 years ago.

SRT Challenger. Generally speaking, you can generally get a deal on any Challenger with a manual transmission. Most everyone wants the automatic. Love the six speed.

Thx and Thx

Are the new tires the same diameter as the old? Assuming they are (or close), the aspect ratio will obviously be different (numerically lower). In the world of street tires, a “skinnier” tire will result in better traction due to less sidewall flex. And more traction equals more friction which...

Thanks. Great info.

I realize my question and an answer is/would be subjective. Referring to sheet metal, for the sake of this conversation, I’d say factory doors and only mild mods to the leading edge. I’m figuring mid 70’s?

When did NASCAR team's transition from factory sheet metal and suspensions? We're factory suspensions and sheet metal abandoned simultaneously? Did all the team's transition at the same time?

Does anyone have a “cut-a-way” pic of a cup engine? I’m interested in push rod length. I’m told they are relatively short. If so, I’d like to see how it’s done.

Who makes the call as to what tire brings to each race? Is the same tire always brought to the same track? In the case of today’s Kentucky race, would the tire choice change because it’s a day race? What are the odds Hoosier would make another run at NASCAR?

There’s usually commentary w/regard to engine wear at the Coca Cola 600. So, this weekend the cars will be running more than 600 miles. Yesterday I didn’t hear any comments on this. Will we today? Are the engines built with different tolerances when they’re expected to run this long?

1. What gear ratios are used? 2. What’s the distance around the track on the outside lane as compared to the inside.

Thanks much.

Getting ready to buy a couple tix for November, but not familiar with the track. Couple of questions: Seats or benches? Some or all sections? I know everyone’s ideas of “best seats” is different, but as my wife has difficulty walking we’ll pay extra for better parking. Any sections better for...

As compared to the Cup Series, why is the Xfinity Series so loaded with Chevies?

OK, I realize this isn't NASCAR-related, and I don't know whether this post will be dropped, but I have to believe some of you will be watching the MECUM auction the Friday (1/10) when the real Bullet Mustang crosses the block in Kissimmee. There's no reserve. I'd like to see you best guess as...

Prior to,the drivers firing engines there was a shot of Brad Keselowski's car. Atop the hood, right in front of the driver was a vertical panel of clear plastic. Looked like it was about 6" high and maybe 12 inches or so wide. Anyone know what it was/is?

Damn. Appears as though Dorian's slightly northward tilt is bringing some off and on rain. There does appear to be a break about race time. Sure hope so.

As of right now (Friday evening) it looks like the storm might not come ashore until Monday or Tuesday. Assuming the associated/preceding rain doesn't extend up to Darlington, it looks like the race will be run. I do, however, wonder about one scenario. Come Sunday, and if Florida and its...
