I was wrong: Hendrick car, Childress Engine. This article goes into more detail about the package they used. Bosch EFI, individual throttle bodies, endurance engineered valve train.

After last week's race at Gateway, we saw something with the new car us NASCAR folk haven't really seen before: exploding brake rotors from repeated thermal cycling. The super powered brake ducting that previously cooled the old car's 12.72" rotors rapidly overcooled the Next Gen's 15" front...
What is everyone's experience and opinion of Eagle rotating components? Specifically, has anyone tried this "ESP Armor" finish they are applying to cranks. BS or legit?

I should hate it, but I want it. I have a quarter million mile '03 GMT800 single cab Silverado 4x4 to do real truck stuff with. This would be a perfect little modern runabout that could do a little bit of everything for cheap. Honestly, as a guy in my 20s, even as an engineer, I won't be...
How this feels to those who truly have loved the sport their entire lives.
I am hoping it is just a marketing sideshow to try to attract woke sponsors, but my faith is very weak.
Cadillacs. Pontiacs. Jeremy Clarkson once said third gen Camaro owners are axe murderers (can neither confirm nor deny as compliment or not). Justice? Maybe. Crown Vics are cool af once decomissioned. Australian Falcons? Drunken discourse please!

It truly is a most beautiful flavor of nostalgia. I had the exact same memories with my father in the late 90s and eary 2000. Probably the same 1:64 Racing Champions too.
Good times. Dad and I get to relive those moments at a couple races a year still, when adulting isn't in the way. I know...
A V6 would be correct. I know that V6s in Busch came in the late 80s. I think the rules were you could run a V8 but you had to run with a massive weight penalty that always was slower than the SVO V6 and the Buick V6.

Another beautiful Thunderchicken is up for sale boys. This time is vintage Busch Series flavor in a NAPA wrapper. The 105" chassis is shorter and lighter than Winston Cup's 110" chassis.
My, oh my. The always beautiful Lumina never fails to pull on my nostalgic heartstrings. The default image in my brain for the word "racecar" is a 1990 Winston Cup Lumina.

That was my favorite rules package: stock steel hood panel, stock steel roof panel, stock decklid, fiberglass nose with an air dam valence, small spoiler, and frame rail measured ride height rules. The old school way of preventing too much body manipulation was that a factory Thunderbird/Lumina...
