Thread: NASCAR at Bristol

Tweet

Yes, it's always nice to see the kids score a few wins in NASCAR, gets the old pro's all fired up!

Dave DeSpain had the President of Penske on Wind Tunnel last night....with what he was saying it sounds like Roger Penske, 75 years old now, is still busy planning for the future of Penske Racing after the switch to Ford!!! According to him, still nothing definite about Penske doing their own engines or going with Yates power like the rest of the Ford's...

Also, how about all three if the Waltrip Toyota's being in the top 5??? TRD has definitely found some more power!!!!

With NASCAR's current structure and keeping the engines common, Penske will have to buy cylinder heads from Rousch/Yates (R/Y). Not sure if NASCAR will let Penske around that but the R/Y head is the agreed to platform. Blocks & intakes, I would believe it would be in Penske's interest to at least in the beginning buy'em from R/Y and perhaps later develop their own. But they will not get around the cylinder heads, that's the platform set by NASCAR. My 2 cents.

TRD has been a huge influence no matter what form of motorsport! I really believe that the Shrub (Kyle Busch) and his team has melted down at least twice and cost Toyota championships. They've had big point leads and lost it all in the chase. Bad Luck?? To young a team?? Im-maturity?? Or all of the above!

I'd go with all of the above!!! Kyle also is racing in a lot less non-Cup races this year..could be he's suffering from a bit of burnout by the end of the season? Gibbs intention is to have his concentration fully on the Cup program this year, interesting to see if the results change.
