In my opinion this will just bunch the field up even more leading to even more parade laps. Coupled with the aero problems this year it could turn into a demolition derby if anybody entertains the thought of passing somebody.
He got punted at 200 MPH while sideways, a smaller plate would not have changed much of what happened.
They were talking about Harvick and Busch. How their cars were skewed to the left.
Don't follow NASCAR that much, what were they talking about.
Thanks
No RV at the moment.
Looking to hit the road in a year or two.
Offsetting the axles so that the distance between the inside tires is shorter than the distance between the outside tires, even a half inch or an inch, helps the car turn. The same with offsetting the rear axle.
If you measure a race track , you will find about 60-70% of the distance is in the turns. For a 500 mile race that can be 300-350 miles in curves and 200-150 miles on the straight.
You might say those adjustments are rough on tire wear. Certainly they are. But those teams never plan to run even 100 miles on an $7-8,000 set of tires.
The Stewart Haas cars are certainly legal. Most of the other cars are offset the same way, but not to the maximum allow d like the #4 and #41. Some of that adjustment is driver preference.
How much is allowed.
On a road course, do they run parallel.
The NASCAR rule book is only available to registered car owners, is a few thousand pages, and costs over $1,000. And allowances for different for different tracks.
I would assume the offsets are minimal on road courses, but as I mentioned - driver preference has a lot to do with settings.
Two drivers with identical cars with identical setups will usually perform differently.
And as we’ve seen in the first stage of the race - the aggressive setups that helped Harvick and Kurt get on the front row in qualifying are apparently a dis advantage in race traffic.
