Final Laps Nascar Pinty Series @Canadian Tire

Aren't those Dodges actually supported? I didn't think they were Zombie Dodges up there in the Pinty's series. I know the Dodges in the Xfinity are Zombies.

pretty grey support wise for all brands if you ask me

In 2009, the option of utilizing the NASCAR spec engine program was introduced. The cars uses steel tube-framed silhouette stock cars powered by carbureted V8 engines. The cars have a relatively high minimum weight, so development of lightweight components is minimal. A number of components are specified by the rules, as parity is given priority over vehicle development. Manufacturer involvement is therefore limited largely to supply arrangements for long-developed crate motors, and branding on the largely standard bodywork.
 
That's what real stock car racing looks like.
when I was watching it, every time they switched to incar, I could only imagine the jeers from the peanut gallery around here, not to mention the outcry from the same about missing of the action in the pack. But yeah heck yeah, heck of a race they had up there.
 
Oh but NASCAR shouldn't race in rain BS
 
can't do it on ovals ya know..Makes about as much sense as D.W.'s vortex theory. The heck with this rain delay crap, throw some rain tires on them and they can dry out the track racing.

They would need experience in the wet before they can race in a group and there's no good way to get the experience the way things work now.

Most of the teams run the spec engines, Kennington racing (#17 And #27) uses built Dodge engine, and the #27 has full Mopar sponsorship.
Dodge also gives out extra money each race for the top Dodge bodied cars and the top cars with Dodge engines.
Manufacturer support is definitely pretty limited overall, and at the last race (at Delaware Speedway) there was not even 1 Chevrolet bodied car in the field. There were a few Ford bodies though. Not sure if anyone is actually running a Ford or Chevy engine at all at this point, probably all of them have switched to the spec engines.
I'm surprised Toyota never got into this series at all... The series needs to get some more support, car counts have been getting rough on the ovals.
 
It is a very good racing series, a cut above local tracks and a lot less than Xfinity. The great thing about this series is you can race with less than the budget of the smallest teams in Nascar. Every car is sponsored.
 
Engine size for Nascar is/was 358 C.I. They are saying the Dodge is 362.3..might be because they got the smaller plate ya think?
