    Maybe, maybe not. We used to run one years ago under the front of the car. Won alot of races with it. Lost alot of races without it. Bloomquist tried something with the window opening. Again, testing and experimenting pays off.

        Those deflectors on the hood were standard equipment on USAC and ARCA stock cars that raced on the big dirt tracks like Springfield, Du Quoin, Sedalia and the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Some of the ARCA guys still use them today. During last night's telecast Kenny Wallace eluded to that fact even mentioning Springfield & Du Quoin by name.

        I'm just guessing but it's questionable as to whether the speeds at even the big 1 mile dirt tracks would produce enough aerodynamic effect to afford any sort of advantage. Given that Eldora is less than half the size of a mile dirt track it's probably a given that no particular aero advantage could be realized. It didn't seem to help with the mud on the windshield, either.

          But he isn't. HMMMMM????

              Check out the WOO Sprint highlights from last weekend. I know that nobody likes winged sprint cars, but give it 10 minutes. Watch Friday and Saturdays. 14th and 15th
