Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton got caught using a performance advantage in post race inspection. It is a grey area so Nascar said don't do it again. They caught the rim around the tire I believe they said three hundreth of an inch, which helps to get the right pressure. On Wind Tunnel they said it could hurt their chances in the chase a lot.

This was breaking news on Wind Tunnel reported by Bob Dilligner. I checked Nascar.com but there was no article yet.

Also they picked Kasey Kahne to win championship.


What do you think about all this?


Update: Jayski
Finally article, but apparently it wasn't true. One reporter made it up and another jumped the gun and said it on speed channel.

It sounds to me like it's one of those deals that was creatively used to push the limits without breaking any actual rule.

Like Jeff Burton in the 2002 Winston pitting on the final lap, or Jimmie Johnson's shocks in Dover last year. Expect that loophole to be closed like my two examples.

It's all about technology. There engineers and specialists paid just to come up with things like this. I'd be shocked if they didn't have some little advantage.
