Fun seems to have abandoned the Trivia so I will take the liberty of asking a question to keep the Trivia going.
What was the fastest 500 mile race in NASCAR history? Who won, and what was their average speed?

That is correct. It is your turn to ask a Nascar "Cup" question.

What driver was credited with bringing power steering to Cup?

The Driver would be Bobby Allison but the guy that came up with the idea and built what would be the prototype of the power steering system they use today was Gary Nelson . Most of the componets that he used came from a Ford half ton pick up .

Well it wouldnt be the first time ive been wrong so I went and checked a few places . Heres what Tom Higgins had to say .
On May 16, 1982, as Bobby Allison's crew chief, Nelson equipped his Chevrolet with power steering, a system not specified in the rulebook. Allison won by four laps, prompting a NASCAR official to call Nelson the next morning and tell him that power steering would not be allowed in the future.
''The rulebook said, 'production-like,' " Nelson recalled telling the official. ''I think more production cars come with power steering than cars that don't. I wish you would consider that."
The following week, Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough installed power steering in their cars. Today, the feature has become standard, a result of the cops-and-robbers interplay that shows no signs of conclusion.

Hmmm Yelk, looks like you're backed into a corner on this one. Maybe someone had it before and didn't tell anyone.

It is my understanding that Geoff Bodine introduced power steering to Cup. Bodine drove for Emanuel Zervakis in the Modidied Division and used power steering successfully. Bodine also ran 3 races for Zervakis in Cup in 81, introducing power steering to the Cup level.

My friend, I don't care if you CONCEDE or not, I'm just going on memory of having been around racing since 1950 and not what someone wrote. Of course, when one gets my age, living it and what is put out by the media might be different.
