The Whims of Nascar

Amazing Nascar on friday after the top speeds in practice were closing in on 200 mph again Robin Pemberton stated that he saw no reason for concern and there would be no change in the size of the restrictor plate. Ah wrong answer. Saturday morning teams arriving at the track were informed that the restrictor plate would be 1/64th of an inch smaller than the one everybody had practised with for 2 days. So much for no concern on the part of Nascar about the higher speeds obtained thru the repaving of Taledega Super Speedway. Unfortunatly for the race teams they are now without any information on how the race cars will perform with a smaller plate than the one they geared their cars for. Oh for sure 1 and all put a good face on the situation after all they have no choice in the matter, it is Nascar's ball, field,bat,hoop,goal post and they will take it and go home whenever they feel like it.
