I was really quite disappointed when I saw Carl wreck the 12 car. That was very dangerous and he certainly deserves to sit out a few races to think about what he did and what the result could have been. He could have easily waited for a better time or place, like Bristol or Martinsville where the speeds are much slower. Dale Earnhart Sr. used to push anyone/everyone out of his way. He wrecked or spun out more cars than the rest of the drivers put together. Maybe Carl thinks that he is the reincarnation of Dale Sr.

Ron, you are right about the amount of camber the Chevies were using. The commentators also mentioned that some teams are bending the rear axle housing to try to make the car turn better but this is also very hard on the tires. One way or the other, the Chevies went through a bunch of rubber yesterday.


As far as the spoiler is concerned, NASCAR is handling it in exactly the way they handle everything else. They are not only specifying every aspect of the spoiler but they are actually going to supply the spoilers to each team. Why not just tell the teams to make their own spoilers. The specs are that it cannot be bigger that 4" by 65" (this is just an example) and must be made from plastic or aluminum no thicker than 1/4". Give the teams some freedom to design and build some parts.
