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...

18" wheels. Maybe I'm the last to know, but I just read this will happen next year. Assuming true, what do lower aspect ratio tires mean for handling, wear, etc?

Have to admit, for a '76 Laguna, it sits nice.

There's an article entitled "My Tech Essentials" in this weekend's Wall Street Journal. It's about Dale Jr's favorite toys, to include a couple of his cars. He says his favorite is a 1976 Chevy Laguna. Says he also likes his 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. Considerably older than Jr, my tastes...

In one lap how much more distance does a car travel in the outside lane vs inside?

I’ve always wondered if this was just to give the announcers a break. Maybe a trip to the bathroom?

So often a driver retires and you never hear anything about him or her. Well, not so much her. Anyway what are these guys doing? Just to name a few...Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, Ernie Ervin, etc al.

I realize Richmond is further north than the areas badly damaged by the hurricane, but has whatever rain has fallen there will it create any issues for this week's race?

Does the Darlington track have any individual seats or is it all bench seating?

Thanks

I'm referring to the small bits of tape, usually brightly colored, the pit crew places on the grill. I'm not referring to the tape to restrict/increase airflow to the radiator. Thanks.

At today’s race we sat in Section 493 Row 65. It’s the top row under the structure that holds the boxes. Chose those tix because they are in the shade, which was a good move today. We used my scanner and brother used a rental. Both of us got good reception, but the volume both units put out was...

Visiting Chicago this week. Got tix in the shade...thankfully.

Has the use of automatic transmissions in NASCAR ever been suggested/promoted? If so, by whom. And if so, what was the reasoning?

Will we see any (manufacturer or team) engine failures tonite?

Does NASCAR dictate what gear ratios are run at each track? Do teams run the same ratio at Indy, Daytona and Talladega? What ratios are run at Talladega?

This must have a reason for existing other than just getting me to actually crank it up. Do the announcers use this few minutes to take a bathroom break or just take a break from talking or...?
