Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

[FLRacingFan]

Very nice. Hopefully it's Bobby Labonte!

He said they're guaranteed to be in the field so that's my bet.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway.....

Winter already starting off pretty cold here in NE, looks like an N'oreaster on Saturday so the snow will get much deeper there!

Today's Charlotte test is to consist of 4, 40 lap races in packs of cars. It's open to the public if your're in that area. Best of all it's FREE!

Where are you getting this stuff?

Where are you getting this stuff?

Twitter. All kinds of good info and pics on there. There really isn't all that mus, as fans, that we are going to learn about what is going on today. The guys with the computers are the one that this really means anything to, for the moment anyhow.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Thumbs up from Kurt after his first run in his SHR ride.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Kevin Harvick debriefs with crew chief Rodney Childers and an engineer following his most recent laps around Charlotte.

For now.. and until they race it we won't know for sure but I would think we'll get interviews after.. and speeds and all that.. they're running 4 40 lap races right? I wonder if we'll get to know the finishing orders..

 

[SlicedBread22]

Do you know who's there?

 

[Tennessee Racing]

New Hampshire Motor Speedway.....

I bet Chad could still set up a winning car for Jimmie. Even in the snow.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Do you know who's there?

Have not seen the list. I read somewhere that there are around 25 cars that were to take part in Charlotte testing.

How true is this?

@TheOrangeCone

Take whatever makes the drivers feel the most comfortable, and DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Alex Bowman is testing in the #83 for Reutimann.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

I may be wrong but I think they are testing the 9" TALL Rear Spoiler.

@JennaFryer
#NASCAR having teams run 3 configurations today, then will run a 4th at end of day on consensus "best configuration" with a tapered spacer

@JennaFryer
All drivers have a #NASCAR employee assigned to them collecting data and feedback.

@JennaFryer
There is also a mandatory group debrief with #NASCAR following each configuration being on track.

Lining them up for the first of four "races" here today. Pace truck and all. Harvick on the pole.

Starting grid for this group session determined by practice speeds in first session, btw. It's good NASCAR is trying some diff things.
