The fuel injection used in the NASCAR at Daytona is different from fuel injection used on stock cars. I'm unsure how/why a restrictor plate is used. NASCAR just swapped out a carburator with a fuel injector. If they want to control the speed of NASCAR, have the race cars use a V6 engines. The NASCAR cars are all identical with different stickers on them. The race is like watching a freight train going by at 186 mph.

Freescale/McLaren ECU with Holley throttle bodies..by the looks of it....all cars will run the same ECU, with their own uploads of course.Looking at this race its already paid off....201 mph? Going to be an interesting year,.....

Thankfully both Juan and the jet dryer operator are fine, that was a bad deal all around.
Congrats to Matt Kenseth and the folks at Roush/Fenway Racing, what can you say, those Fords had the field covered, now its on to the Valley of The Sun.

Last night when they did a close-up on the fuel tank, pickups, and the new pumps, Larry Mac mentioned that they maintain 70 psi line pressure, which seems very high to me. It will be interesting to see how the pumps hold up over the season. I'd prefer better nozzle technology and less line pressure - you know, like my SS...
And, if Dale Jr. had had anyone but Biffle in front of him, someone else would have won, right? Of course, if he coulda/woulda/shoulda beaten one of those guys on a restart, HE coulda maybe had something for them... I'm not in his fan club, but it was good to see him not have BAD luck last night.

EH....Biffle and Little E were saying the same thing after the race..I thought he was going to--I was waiting for him to go..was waiting for him to make his move....THIS..is what happens when you remove the radios chatter between drivers..now they have to read minds...or go old school and devise hand signals..and apparently the new rear spoilers are creating havack on the rears..last year they could steer out of pretty extreme side angles, now, no way. The rear is a gonner....looks like they going to have to learn to drive again..
