NASCAR Testing - Las VegasBY: Jonah Rens is 12 years old, and is a junior NASCAR reporter/writer for The Final Lap. His opinions are his own, and not necessarily those of The Final Lap.

Bring back Rockingham Speedway to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, bring back North Wilksboro Speedway to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, run the Generation 6 car on those two tracks as well. What you’ll have is great edge of your seat, 200 MPH+, fender to fender race package, and get rid of the Chase.

Now on day two of Daytona Testing recently, NASCAR said no tandem drafting at the February Daytona events. Well that’s what NASCAR is: Pure racing action. Like I said I want a 200 MPH+ fender to fender race package. If NASCAR isn’t going to provide that, then I’m not going to be a fan. It’s as simple is that.

I sure hope NASCAR takes a look at this article and does the things listed. I sure hope NASCAR changes soon. The competition in NASCAR needs to change fast or NASCAR will lose its fan base. A couple of years ago Robin Pemberton said, “We’re gonna put the racing in the hands of the drivers. Boys have at it.” NASCAR get back there again.

NASCAR LOGODAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 14, 2013) – NASCAR has announced a set of officiating revisions to further reinforce its in-race rules and regulations following a week-long review of events that transpired during last Saturday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway.

NASCAR officials met with drivers, owners and crew chiefs this afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway to address these revisions that will take effect beginning with Sunday’s opening race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The revisions focus on assisting the competitors to understand what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in NASCAR’s sole determination when it comes to officiating teams’ racing during an event. NASCAR will issue a technical bulletin to the teams later this afternoon that outlines these revisions. Continue reading “NASCAR Announces Officiating Revisions After Richmond Scandals”

After what just transpired at Richmond International Raceway, would you want to be a NASCAR official? Often times even when they get everything right, super-fans turn a blind eye to the facts and turn the tables on the men and women who enforce the rules of our sport.

Day Two: NASCAR Preseason Thunder At Daytona International Speedway
Second Day Features Adjustments To Rules Package

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 13, 2012) — As with any test, especially one as important as 2012 Preseason Thunder at Daytona, getting it right and being open to make adjustments is key.

After the late afternoon practice session on Thursday, NASCAR announced changes for today’s test session with an increase in the diameter of restrictor-plate openings from 1/32nd of an inch to 15/16ths inches, adding an estimated 26 horsepower to the engines.

In addition, they lowered the pressure relief valve settings from 30 pounds per square inch to 25 psi and narrowed the grille openings of the cars, thereby decreasing airflow to the engine. Both measures were designed to decrease the number of laps one car can push another without overheating.
