NASCAR

This article http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/bg/10/03/kybusch.cc.penalty/index.html states that the #5 made "unapproved intake manifold modifications to the plenum area".
....What kind of changes can a mechanic make - (porting and polishing?) - that would be considered "actions detrimental to stock car racing"? Detrimental means "Causing damage or harm; injurious". How does modifying an intake harm the sport? Isn't the point of racing seeing who can create the most horsepower for a win?
.....Or does Nascar just use this as an excuse to dig into the bigger team's pockets?

Will going full time C.O.T , ruin the speed and excitement that we see in the old stock cars?
Or
Will they make the necessary adjustments to the COT to make it just as exciting. With it being similar to a restrictor plate race or will they make it with more speed and reduce the down force of the rear wing?
Me, I love the old car and Hate the COT.. just like the changes they made to Bristol and ruined that race this fall.
Tell me what ya' all think??????

Why are all (or some) of the F1 drivers coming to Nascar??
first it was Juan(im gonna wreck your a**) Montoya, now they area talking to Helio, and Danica Kirkpatrick....
Are they just bored with F1 or are they getting better contracts to drive Stock cars????
Its a " good ole' boy sport " and it should really stay that way, promote within and bring the kids up from ARCA and the Truck series.
What do you think???

I don't really care for stock car racing of any sort, but I'm curious as to what stock car fans think of these open wheel racers coming to their series, the latest being Franchitti, and former F1 racer Scott speed. D'you welcome the competition (once they learn the car), or are you put off? No disrespect, I'm just interested in what you guys think.

Next year when Joe Gibbs is out of the top 35 in owner and driver points, how are his drivers possibly going to win a championship? You don't become champion sitting out races!!!

It is now a violation to ask a question about a NASCAR driver on Y!A???? Wow, check your community guidelines because they evidently ommitted it from my guidelines. DO NOT ask a question or you too will be in violation!!!

I think this is great for the whole Ganassi Racing team. I like seeing another open-wheel great jump over to challenge themselves in what I think is the greatest form of racing there is, hands down. They both have a lot of learning to do, and I hope Montoya gets his head on straight by next season if he wants to be taken seriously in CUP. Ganassi needs some solid talent behind the wheel of his cars, and now hes got it. They just need some experience under their belts now.

NASCAR said he won the race and that's really all that matters. His crew chief said there was a gallon of gas left in the car. Biffle says he was saving gas for a burnout which did not happen because he got stuck in the grass. When they changed the rules years ago about freezing the field after a caution, a lot of things changed. It seems most people thought Bowyer or Jimmie Johnson should have won because Biffle wasn't on the tail of the pace car. He didn't need to be. His engine did not shut off until he shut it off in the grass. Nowhere in the rule book does it say that the leader must run a pit road speed on a caution. They need to follow the pace car at a reasonable speed which Biffle did. Johnson and Bowyer have 7 wins between them and are atop the championship standings. Greg Biffle was the class of the field the last 50 laps and would have won anyway if the race had gone green the last 4 laps in my opinion. He was over a second ahead of Bowyer and 2.5 seconds over Johnson.

Yahoo sports has posted an article stating that Nationwide Insurance is replacing Busch as the sponsor of the second tier series. What's Allstate going to say, is Geico going to be allowed to stay as a car sponsor?

I was a NASCAR fan before most of y'all were born... I'm not quite old enough to remember Fireball Roberts, but I do remember that young buck Dale Earnhardt showing up and watching Jaws try to put him in his place. I remember seeing some guy with a bad moustache making his Cup debut at Atlanta in 90 or 91 driving the 24 car in what was Richard Petty's last race. He hadn't done a thing in the Grand National series, so nobody really talked much about him.

What I'm getting at is the fact that I didn't type WINSTON Cup a minute ago.... and next year we won't be typing BUSCH Grand National.....

NASCAR has alienated alot of old fans with this "Nextel" Cup, this Car of Tomorrow, this drive named Jaun (problem-after-another) Montoya, and now they're dropping Busch as the second-tier series' title sponsor.

What's next? The Kotex 500? The Treehugger at the Glen?

At the race in Kansas they had a recording artist sing the national anthem and he forgot the words. Did anyone notice that? And that wasn't the first time. What's wrong with these people?
