Yepper, but I surmise that the guy with the melon head has more going on up inside of it than the other racer guy with the coconut head ?
This hasn't been a RACE for decades. It's just a bunch of equally prepared cars running together trying to avoid disaster. It will never ever be a RACE again.
Ross had a good shot at it till Corey Lajoi ran out of talent
No it hasn't been a real race for decades...Quote:

I agree TS Fan. Bill did 210 at Daytona
216.309 mph
"The Big One" Speeds in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h) are commonplace at Talladega. Talladega has the record for the fastest recorded speed by a NASCAR vehicle on a closed oval course, with the record of 216.309 mph (348.116 km/h) set by Rusty Wallace on June 9, 2004.
If we take 200 mph as a nice round terminal velocity for a restricted engine, removing the plates and doubling the engine power to 900 hp would only increase the terminal velocity for the unrestricted engine to 252 mph. That’s pretty surprising – you double the engine power and you only get 50 mph more.
Restrictor plates started at Daytona in 1988.
I’d just be happy if they changed the bumpers so they can’t bump draft

Shank Meter Racing recorded another milestone in 2013, when Colin Braun drove his DP to a pair of FIA-sanctioned world records in the 10 kilometers and 10 miles at Daytona International Speedway. Braun also shattered the track record with a lap of 222.971 mph, breaking Bill Elliott's 26-year-old mark of 210.364 mph.
Them Crackhouse cars have been running good this year but that Larson put a hurtin on the field at Las Vegas !Quote:
