NASCAR inspections, the increasingly common and complex

One reason for building the car of tomorrow was to reduce costs; Another was to simplify the inspection. Fit all cars would be a template and NASCAR would have to customize the fitting not several times before each race. NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said the rules clearer, or at least less confusing in 2008 to.

So far the sanctioning are making place new methods things more difficult. Together with before and after the race control, there are several penalties and fines and suspensions levied are uninterrupted, media attention away from the race as never before.

Last season NASCAR boom on teams that manipulated the cot in the smallest way exhibition reduced severe punishment for even the slightest infraction. Most of failed inspections concerned nothing to increase the performance of the car and changed portions, the Act. Unity was the rage, and there were no exceptions.

It seems to be more ambiguity this year. Las Vegas had to win Carl Edwards a runaway tire during a major pit stop in the late stages of its March 2. Instead of giving Edwards, the usual penalty round, forgave the mishap NASCAR. A TV cameraman had with a crew member and caused a wheel of the on pit road, rollers, where it would have hampered an other pit crew or caused a wreck. Edwards was allowed to start again in third place, as it was not his team debt, although was the cameraman, where he would have and is not responsible for loose equipment.

Robby Gordon similar logic applied when his team installed a wrong bumper front cover before the Daytona 500. The prototype nose came directly from the Dodge warehouse, fit the inspection template, never made it on the line and would have not helped the No. 7 Dodge go faster. And it was not his fault. However, NASCAR took 100 drivers and 100 owner points and fined crew chief Frank Kerr for a dubious injury.

After examining Gordon's appeal, NASCAR driver and owner points, but the original fine added again. Everything was fine, but it was not in order.

In Edwards case, there have been numerous cases where penalties in extra bed were enforced tyres, regardless of the cause, so a few questions, whether Edwards received special treatment in Las Vegas. He would have been sent Robby Gordon, would he have been at the back? It is therefore fair.

Edwards won the UAW-Dodge 400, even if his car not, as it turned out, up - to the standard was. No. 99 Ford passed after the race inspection according to NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston, nor Edwards was 100 driver point docked, because the cover was missing to his car oil tank. An open oil tank allows better airflow and reduced the normal drag-a decided advantage during a high speed race. He was allowed to keep the victory, but not his brief lead in the Drivers standings. NASCAR had his Vegas victory, runner up taken Dale Earnhardt, Jr. a roundabout victory, his first in almost two years but a decline with no fanfare for sport top figure would pass.
In the likely event, with the Edwards qualified for the 2008 Hunt, he receive not the 10 bonus points for each victory, and for determining the Chase seed order configured uses.

NASCAR unofficial policy not repent WINS was observed over the years; Although Lee petty 1959 500 winner has been declared by the first Daytona Panel, three days after Johnny Beauchamp in victory was celebrated. There is a precedent.

NASCAR wreck - a driver's license perspective

Preparation for the NASCAR race, all tire pressure and fluid will be one last time in front of rowdy Jack reviewed steps in his car. He is in his helmet, preloaded to the frill. He feels the adrenaline through his veins, pulse down in his fingertips, which firmly grab the wheel are. He gives the final thumbs-up to his pit crew and the race begins.

His engine roars in his ears. He can hear even the screaming crowd. He moves as fast as a jet plane. It is screwed massive uncomfortable in the car, the wiring harnesses and the neck with his seat. His helmet has a microphone, where he receives news of his crew chief. "You have on your tail Kyle Busch junior." Speed up ' em. You have eight laps until a pit stop. "Move along!"

Rowdy Jack Junior is sweating profusely. The heat from his motor steeped him in sweat. He tries, water from the hose attached to his helmet suck, but nothing comes out. He ignored this. The race is more important. "Just stick it out," he tells.

After several rounds, tunnel vision starts setting in the. He remains on the race track. Turn right, turn right, turn right. Simple. He convinced himself that he is fine. In the headset, he hears hectic but dull to scream. "Junior!" Junior! What are you doing? "You are everywhere on the line!"

At this time, vision to unconsciousness has darker, developed the tunnel down. The car hits the concrete barrier and breaks down in flames, halfway on its side.

"Junior!" Can you hear us? "Are you good?"Scream pour from the microphone and the amount.

The medical team rushes to pull him out of the burning car. He is barely conscious, and then not at all. Immediately set him wear one. Soon a helicopter medical flight arrives and he is sent to the hospital and promptly placed in the intensive care unit.

The amount is in shock and in massive turmoil. This is done not on people. It is not easy. The autographs. The simulations. What happens if he dies? That's what they all think. And everyone in this set is considering their own death.

All but two men are deep in a brawl, which is separated from the police. You notice even the disaster directly behind them, only their pride.

It turns out, there was no water on the line in his helmet and connected. He passed out from dehydration. The story was everywhere on the news. The only thing it was Ruff, him to his seat and helmet that break the neck from kept connected. After Dale Earnhardt died, this has been implemented the rule to use.

Hundreds of thousands of people had to examine their lives to this day. Let survive are a lesson for everyone and a reminder, how much of the human body can take, and how much one person can only help.
