| As everyone knows team owners Roush and | | | | spent equals more cars. At the time this seemed like |
| Childress are dominating Nascar this season. At first | | | | a pretty good idea and it worked for a while. |
| glance you would think that more money, better | | | | Ohhhhh....but look at it now!!!! You have 5 car teams |
| engineers and drivers would be the reason why and | | | | with the ability to test on every track and share that |
| that is true to some extent. Right now you have to | | | | information with all their crew chiefs and 1 car teams |
| be asking yourself what else could it be? Remember | | | | that can test on less than half the tracks. Add to |
| back when some of the prominent teams in Nascar | | | | that the aero changes Nascar makes every year |
| started adding a second car. At the time, even | | | | which virtually eliminates last years setup numbers |
| though Nascar was encouraging it, most people were | | | | and what a tremendous advantage 5 car teams have |
| saying 2 car teams would not work because it was | | | | over 1 car teams. While the intent of this rule was |
| just too expensive. | | | | never meant to give one team an advantage over |
| Nascar, wanting more competitive cars at the race | | | | another, it never the less has, and needs to be |
| track every week, and realizing that there were not | | | | addressed. |
| a lot of new car owners stepping onto the track, | | | | There are a lot of ways to correct this and Nascar |
| knew that they had to do something. The quickest | | | | should be looking at this issue right now so that |
| way to get more cars every week was to help the | | | | changes can be made before next season gets |
| existing car owners afford more cars!!! Here in lies the | | | | started. Nascar bills themselves as the most |
| rub, one of the ways Nascar decided to cut team | | | | competitive car racing in the world. I sure hope they |
| costs, was to limit the number tracks each car could | | | | plan to keep it that way. |
| test at every year. Less testing less team money | | | | |
