NASCAR impounds eight truck engines for comparative analysis





BRISTOL, Tenn. – It’s the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams’ turn to have their engines looked at.

NASCAR impounded eight engines for routine testing after the O’Reilly 200 Wednesday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. NASCAR will take the engines to its facility in Concord, N.C., to check horsepower numbers. NASCAR uses that data to help determine whether the rules encourage balanced competition.

Bill Davis Racing’s Johnny Benson, the series points leader, had his engine taken, as did fellow Toyota driver Todd Bodine (Germain Racing). NASCAR also took the Circle Bar Racing Ford engines from Brendan Gaughan and Rick Crawford, the Bobby Hamilton Racing-Virginia Dodge engine from Dennis Setzer and the Chevrolet engines from T.J. Bell (TRG Motorsports), Jack Sprague (Kevin Harvick Inc.) and Jimmie Johnson (Randy Moss Motorsports)

and if you had noticed.. the cup engines that hit the chasis dyno.. they only took one chevy... J johnsons.. and took none from RCR... go figure.. Nascar is not getting enough data unless they suspect that only certain teams are leaning too far into the gray areas.... or some other teams are screaming foul, or ratting out their competitors... hmmmmm
