Standard Boby Locations the law in 2003: NASCAR has informed the teams it will require them to have standard body locations in 2003, meaning all the cars will be nearly identical in chassis setups. There is now no restriction on how far forward or backward the body on a Cup car can be located. Teams vary that position from track to track to help balance the car. Bodies are moved forward on superspeedways to keep air off the rear spoilers and reduce drag, and moved backward on shorter tracks.(NASCAR.com/AP), see more on this on my NASCAR Past News page.(9-2-2002
 
Interesting. I did not know very much about that. I wonder what kind of effect it will have on the performace of certain teams. Thanks for sharing that zoe, I'm gonna keep an eye out for more info on that one.
 
I can't remember where I read about this but, the comments from the news was that it would hurt the Dodges the most. I have no idea why but, that's what it said. Maybe the Dodge chassis is more adjustable.
 
yates racing will have to put new sheetmetal on 40 of the 42 car fleet to meet that new rule


ouch
