"Why Don't You Impound This!"
Welcome back to Nascar Wrecks, don't know how you found us, just glad you did.
In 21 of 36 races, plus the All-Star race, Nascar will impound the Cup cars after qualifying....This weekend in Phoenix, is one of those races!
Here's what happens: After they qualify, the car is escorted back to their garage stall by a Nascar Official, except for the top five cars, they go to a designated area for post-qualifying inspection.
Once the car is parked in their stall, only two crew members can stay in the garage. Here's what they are allowed to do:...Shut off the electrical switches, remove the radio...check air pressure in the tires...cover up the car...and get the hell out.
Then on race day...
Two crew members, escorted by a Nascar Official, are allowed back in... to plug in the oil heater...open the hood...push the car out...fire it up...close the hood...set the tire pressure...install radio and water bottle.. remove or repair tape on car front.
Here's what they CAN'T do:
Enter garage without a Nascar Official there...jack up the car...get in the car...add water or pressurize the cooling system...Adjust wedge, shocks or sway bars...add fuel, oil or brake fluid...remove the air box...adjust fenders, spoiler or any part on the body.
Then, a maximum of three crew members, accompanied by a Nascar Official, can walk it over to tech for inspection.
If you don't follow these rules, you get sent to the principles office, and they make you stay after to clap erasers....or something like that.
Now, you know...as promised you will always learn a little nugget of Nascar knowledge everytime you stop by...Do me a favor and tell your friends how to find us. Okay?
