Doesn't matter at Talladega. The dirty air wont make the cars push that much, compared to other tracks, because of the super long, high banked turns.

If they had to lift for the turns, then yes, maybe. But not Talladega.

Bigger spoiler = more rear downforce = better handling cars = more confident drivers = more racing

Bigger Spoiler also = more drag = bigger hole punched in the air = bigger slipstreams = easier to pass

It also means that side-drafting will slow the cars down even more.

Basically they made the cars less aero dependent so they worked better on 1.5 mile tracks where aero wasn't a big deal in passing. They can add some downforce for these races since aero push isn't as big of a deal, they'll just need to get let the restrictor plate be bigger to compensate for the extra drag on the cars now

Still watching waiting for a restart, we've waited long enough that we deserve a break from the weather gods.

I think we have 2 hours before dark.

How bout the ol' fishtails that were used on the pontiacs and monte carlos back in the day?!

That should be enough, if not get some torches and gaffa tape them to the front bumper

 

[Earth]

I can see NASCAR cutting the race short by 20 or so laps

 

[Furinkazen]

Forgot Daytona 500 replay

 

[Its Vanilla]

This is the end of the Daytona 500.

 

[Furinkazen]

EDIT: SStupid me.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Just 26 to go?! MWR engines on fine form.

I'm fairly certain Jimmie Johnson will win this race they're showing now, Danica will have a chance to win if she moves with Dale on the last lap but won't get in there and fall back, all from my crystal ball

 

[ICEYOU]

Guess they ran out of stuff to talk about.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

"Good things come to those who wait"

The show starts again!

 

[Furinkazen]

Sound gone on my stream!

And it just comes back

Caution is out, race will resume. Juan Montoya having issues with ignition.

 

[Blitz24]

And Montoya has water seep into the car causing an electrical problem.

 

[Furinkazen]

#95 #98, backing you all the way!

 

[MustangRyan]

And Montoya has water seep into the car causing an electrical problem.

If it wasn't for bad luck, Montoya wouldn't have any luck at all.

 

[Furinkazen]

Well JPM is back.

 

[The Bman]

That's a funky top 5.

 

[Furinkazen]

4 wide!

 

[Jahgee]

Go Bobby Babompe

 

[Furinkazen]

Good ol Ambrose the battler!

 

[Blitz24]

Somebody tell Labonte and Gilliland they don't belong in the front. Well. Logano decided to tell Gilliland that and fall back further.

 

[The Bman]

Kenseth back to first. Yawn.

 

[Jahgee]

Am I the only one rooting for Bobby Labonte here?

You aren't the only one

Smith, Wise and Mikey didn't hear ya either.
