Engine Rule At Daytona?

[bowtie]

What is the engine rule at Daytona? I heard yesterday that teams were allowed one engine change after the 125's but I don't know if this is true.

Yeah, but if they change they gotta start at the back.

 

[bowtie]

Thats what I thought to but I was told no. I didn't think that was right.

I understood they are allowed one engine change for the 500. I think teams change just before the 125 qualifiers. Could be wrong though

The report that I heard is they are allowed to change one motor after the 125's and before Daytona without a penalty.

 

[bowtie]

That was the same report I had rpmallen.

The teams may change engines before the 500, but they have to do it before happy hour tomorrow. They must run happy hour with the 500 engine.

Yeah, that makes sense.
