"Avoiding The Draft!"
This weekend is Talladega...Home of some of the most spectacular Nascar Wrecks in the history of the sport. I'm not sure about this, but, didn't Nascar implement a new rule this year, that all drivers must file a flight plan before the green flag drops?
Did you know, that there has been more lead changes this year, than the Nextel Cup has had in a long long time, if ever.
Networks and fans are lovin' it....some drivers and teams see otherwise!
With the smaller spoiler and softer tires, the Cup cars have become more unstable than most teams can remember. That scares the hell out of some drivers going into this restrictor plate race.
A few years ago, Goodyear came out with a tire, that could go forever. Nascar wanted more passing, and wanted these cars slower through the corners. So they started to sneak softer tires in. These tires create more grip and the Cup cars would abuse the right front of the car, hitting the turn. That's why you see so many blowouts.
Not that tires will play a huge roll this weekend, but the drivers would really appreciate it, if all four would stay on the track and not in the air! (wink)
Talladega is the only track where you floor it, aim, and pray to God you stay in the draft. You want nose to tail, with that car in front of you. If not, you get hung out to dry ...all by yourself...just flapping in the wind. It's a white knuckle ride, where most driver's sphincter is so tight, you could open a 2 liter bottle of Coke with their butt!
