If a new auto maker were to join, I think VW is the most likely contender. VW is hugely profitable, have the money and stability to compete long-term in NASCAR. VW also wishes to crack the US market, a NASCAR programme might compliment that aim.
As for worrying about lights getting ruined, in BTCC they get mangled in every race thats what tape was invented for!
Interesting to watch Nationwide practice in the wet, its a great novelty.
They are indeed, but RACECAR pondered whether NASCAR should use head and tail lights for road courses. There would be increased identity for manufacturers, with different tail light graphics, for example. Even if stickers can try to resemble actual pieces, there is nothing like actual lights.
It would be pretty funny watching the drivers flash the lights to try and distract the driver in front. Classic touring car tactic.
I'm not worried about him, he'll eventually fade away as the race progresses. I'm more worried about Kyle Busch then anything he's been fast all weekend, and he's now a major threat to Jeff's wild card position. Gordon must win this weekend.
Funny thing is, the caution has put everyone back together and Joey has about three slow cars to get around before he's back on Carl's bumper. He better not complain if he gets spun, he basically has it coming.
Good for Carl. Only took almost spinning someone, actually spinning someone two corners later, and putting someone else in the wall coming to the white flag. Well done.
