CUP: Daytona 500 Blog

Watch out America, that “appliance “ aka Toyota Camry, is going to be in the winners circle at least once during this 2008 Sprint Cup Series .
GM posting BILLIONS in losses, Ford on life support, Chrysler going private, over at Toyota, its haul ass !!!. when you build over 9 million vehicles worldwide, you learn a thing or 2.
I , for one, will be cheering oh so very loudly, when a Camry finishes FIRST !!!. 
It may be cold and snowy up here in Eastern CDA, but, we know a winner when we see one .

Hi, Tom; Happy Sunday! Quickie question about the engine dyno tests: were the engines tested with or without the restrictor plates? That would make a huge difference in interpreting those numbers.... Thanks, and watch out for th(r)ongs! Jo

Jo: Great question. The engines were tested with restrictor plates. I went back out in the garage this morning and talked with another team exec. Everyone feels like their engines are competitive and close enough to each other that the differences are minimal.

Enjoy the race, Jo. It should be a great one.
