Nascar: 2010

[Don]

Quote from Kyle Petty:

-- “There's no silver bullet to fix what's wrong with NASCAR, no single fix. Give them credit, though, for doing something with the wing and the spoiler situation. Whether it's a positive or a negative, they've at least done something and that's good for the sport. Right now, everything's about the economy. Until that clears up and gets better, NASCAR almost has to let things flow and see where they level out."
-- “Sure, NASCAR needs to listen to its fans. But they need to listen to its drivers, its owners, its manufacturers and the media, too. With fans, you have to listen, but only up to a point. I mean, some of them will say, ‘Hey, y'all run 'em 50 laps one direction then turn 'em around [and do] the run laps the other direction.' Yeah, right, fans.”

Spoiler:

The new piece will sit four inches atop the rear deck of all cars, measured from the centerline and fixed at 70 degrees. It'll be level across the top with a clearance of 43.52 inches from the top of the spoiler to the ground. The spoiler will be 64.5 inches wide and fabricated from 3/16-inch thick aluminum.

Teams must modify slightly their cars' left-side fuel-filler hole to accommodate the spoiler. They also must add four-inch-long right and left quarterpanel extensions at the rear wheel opening. An open test is scheduled for all teams March 23-24 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The new spoiler is expected to debut in the 500-lap race on March 28 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway
