        ok ive been a fan since the late 60's...so i know the "sport"...with all the advances in safety equipment...etc ....i have watched just this weekend past too many cars destroyed by blown tires and the aftermath of debris.....i propose to NASCAR.....for 09....that all 4 tires be enclosed by a fixed welded to the frame steel fender liner....dont care about the weight issue...that can be compensated for elsewhere..or might not be an issue anyway....its rediculous that a tire failure on one car can take out sooo many others....its uncalled for and needs to be addressed..anything heavier than "tin/aluminium" would be better than what we witnessed at 'dega!.....im thinkin that the "wheelhouse" should be part of the frame...tubeing should be welded to the chasis....and formed around the whole perimeter/circumference of the tire..sort of on the line of a "rollcage" for the tire..with steel welded to the underside so it won't launch out (be contained) when a tire "blows"....i would like to hear your opinion....and if anyone from nascar reads this and considers it ...remember where the suggestion came from...A FAN FOR MANY MANY YEARS!...do you here me gary nelson?...robin pemberton?....helton?...brian?...brett ?....darby?....what do you think?

        Does anyone know what the orange ar yellow tape seen on the tires in NASCAR?<br />
Almost every car has a strip of colored tape on the tire that starts at the rim and sometimes goes all the way to the "tread"

        <i></i>I'm sure this has been asked plenty times in the past, but unfortunately I have not seen any discussion on why NASCAR TEAMS don't use a speedometer in the cars?<br />
<br />
I play NASCAR "09 for the XBox 360, and have no difficulty handling the extra info as speedometer provides. Could someone please explain to me why there is no speedometer in the cars? Thanks....<br />

        Why doesn't NASCAR ever use rain tires? Just put a set of windshield wipers on the car at the shop and have the rain tires ready. I've stopped watching races while there were rain delays and never watched the end of the race because of better things to watch than rain falling on a track and everyone talking to everyone else. All I'm trying to say is that NASCAR would get better ratings from races that are affected by the weather if they use rain tires.

        Hi my 2 questions are. I was just curious if i know toyota has been winning a lot of races here recently and nascar has been doing dyno tests on the car - engine i was just curious if nascar plans on taking away anymore horsepower from them.<br />
<br />
I know they took engines from all 3 of the top series at bristol.<br />
<br />
Even though they lowered - took away 10 horsepower from the toyota's it still seems like the joe gibbs cars have a horsepower adavantage in the nationwide series<br />
<br />
I was just curious if nascar plans to do what the alms sportscar series sometimes do when a car gets a big advantage like a couple of times in sportscar a couple of cars the viper and the corvette had a really big advantage so they kept adding weight and taking away power from them to try and equal things up.<br />
<br />
I was just curious if nascar plans on doing that.<br />
<br />
Also did nascar do anymore dynotests after the race last night?<br />
<br />
My other question about when a car runs out of gas is i've seen a few cars run out of gas and stall on pit road and have seen the teams have trouble refiring them someone was telling me that 1 way to refire a car that has ran out of gas and stalled is to hold the throttle wide open up until it refire's i was just curious if that's true and that's how the engine refires or restarts.
