Why are the numbers on the top of each car right side up when looking at them from the infield?? I have heard it so the official scorers can read them,but some of the official scorers at some tracks are not in the infield.

Read the OP. You have to send an email to The Answer Man ... obviously, there are no "answers" forthcoming here.

Why can't they let us hear the engines (like when in a pit stop) instead of non-stop talking??????? Would love to hear the race cars and etc. a little bit, like it would be if you were there in the pits. something differnt, huh?

Has DW, and others, forgotten Miami when Vickers spun JR on the last lap to win the race. Did NASCAR penalize him? NO! Was Jr whining about it? NO. Vickers you wimp, shut and try to drive your car. DW, shut up about VICKERS/JR, and KYLE "Little Punk" Busch(his brother is "Big Punk"). DW, did you forget the day Little Punk crashed his car, left the track and Jr finished the race for him so he could get his points? He is a punk and Hendricks dropped him like Roush dropped Big Punk. They both deserved it. Until he grows up and stops being a punk, he doesn't deserve to be the NASCAR Champion.

. . . on last nights telecast of the Auto Club 500 at Fontana, there was a trivia question asked. No one in the booth knew the answer. Nor did whom ever came up with the question. I pride myself in my knowledge of NASCAR History. This is MY Sport.

The question asked last night was, who was the first Californian to win a Top Division NASCAR race ? I heard several answers. Dan Gurney at Riverside, and another race earlier in 1960.

The answer is Lou Figaro (of Inglewood, California). He won on June 30th, 1951 at Gardenia, California. This was Figaro's only NASCAR Victory.

Way to go Racefanrob!!

ok i know the place to change my sig is on here someplace I have done it before but can not find out how to do it now. help and old dude out

. . . my question is . . . after sixty years of being called Stock Car Racing (and I know since the early 1990s it's been an aerodynamic game), why is it, when NASCAR developes a car that is a throw back to the real think, a stock car, . . . the fans get upset because now . . . these drivers have to drive the cars ?

These new cars don't float throught the air with the greatest of ease (as the ones they replaced did), . . . the new car has to be driven !

Watching the Nationwide race at Bristol, Matt Kenseth filled in for Greg Biffle in the #16....got me to wondering...how many times to drivers actually "sign a contract?" Do they sign one for every race they run in some cases, it seems like in Kenseth's case, his contract probably spells out each Cup event with dates etcetera...but when he jumps in a car as a sub, does he literally have to sign on a dotted line to be sure to get paid, covered by insurance and all the rest?

Just wondering about the logistics that a driver goes through in such a situation.
