Something new, and slightly different

Usually I ramble about how I feel, or maybe whats going on in my life, or that I should turn a light on before I start typing this at 6:30.....yes lights do help, and make a contribution that could be insightful or helpful, or just informative to pass along your days.. So Introducing a new Tuesday Tradition, that however when it gets broken next week will still seem like a cool thing to type about. The Jasyki Rumor roundup... I'll pick one topic Jayski has posted on his wonderful site Jayski.com and ramble about it. It could be a team rumor, or in this week's case, a component for the future.

The Car of Tomorrow has been under wraps and in development sine early 2001. The death of 7 time NASCAR Nextel Cup series champion Dale Earnhardt brought about many changes in the sport and this here could be the most anticipated and long awaited result of years of testing and research and development.

Coming in looking somewhat like the current cars you see on the NASCAR circuit the Car of Tomorrow will com in about 3 inches taller, and 4 inches wider than the current racecar. This change allows a wider stance, and brings the driver more towards the center of the racecar, something NASCAR has desired for a very long time.

With the first ontrack test of the new car this past Monday at Talladega, along with the ability to test multiple aerodynamic additions to slow the cars down NASCAR should be well on its way to hopefully ending the Restrictor plate crutch, and teams can use all of their horsepower at the megaspeedways of Daytona and Talladega.
