“I saw Brian, and even Junior needed a second to breathe. It’s just tough,” Hamlin said. “We’re trying as drivers to stay hydrated, but these cars are just way too hot.” Glad to see you back Beth, you have been missed dearly! Can we get NASCAR to do a recall like the regular car makers are forced to do? The old car rules allowed the teams to evacuate the pressure under the car causing a lower pressure and more downforce. This resulted in engine, radiator and exhaust tubing heat being removed along with the air.
The new car has higher pressure under it resulting in less air movement so more of the heat generated can be absorbed by the floor of the car.
To a lesser degree the "yaw" put into the cars shifts more heat away from the right side over to the left side of the car.
The new seats have also greatly decreased the air circulation around the drivers.
Drivers are going to have to be in shape and hydrated to be successful this summer. my guess is that the protective foam insulation now built into the sides of the new car keeps more of the heat generated from the engine inside the cockpit, like a thermos, and that wasn't as big a factor in the old cars. that combined with a design that allows even less air to circulate in the cockpit through the windows than ever before (to cut down on aerodynamic drag), probably makes them quite a bit hotter. but that's just my guess. Foam in the doors.... and the drivers seat is closer to the center of the car

I agree with everyone. Robby Gordon. He will drive the wheels off anything you put under him. robby gordon, because michael waltrip sucks Robby Gordon all the way, he can drive anything besides he's a awesome guy, we all love him out here in Calif..He is a smart guy as well and look what he has done, I wish he could get a full time committed sponsor, dude deserves it..
Go Dale Jr & Hms Robby Gordon, cause they thought he won't make it and he went thru alot to get where he is but look at him now and he's a good driver!! I like both,but have to pick Robby Gordon at this point,not only for his dedication/aggressiveness,but also for the following story: Some of my friends and I were at Darlington last month and Robby Gordon had been signing autographs at a booth all day.He was finished and leaving by the time we got to the trailer,but saw that my friend's 7 year old son wanted an autograph.My friend's son had a RG shirt that was like an XL bc that's all we could find for him around the track.After seeing this,Robby took the time to come over to him,talk to him,go to the back of the trailer and get him a shirt that would fit him,shake his hand,autograph the shirt,and take pictures!!! I thought that was a very kind and generous thing to do and have new respect for Robby Gordon!!! robby gordon
aggresive Michael Waltrip. Robby Gordon is someone I really like on some days and not like other days. He's pretty moody. I like his aggressiveness though. Him doing burnouts though after losing in Canada last year, priceless. robby gordon and what tbone said. Robby Gordon by far and the reason being that he does it without near as many sponsor dollars as Mikey. He is pretty aggressive but in my book that's OKIE DOKIE! Amen to the first 4!
Or 5. Robby. Nothing against Mikey he's a cool guy, but Robby is more talented in other froms of racing also, just like Wild Thing :^) Robby Gordon or Michael Waltrip? Why? well..going by racing ability..
i'd have to say Robby Gordon.
but if i go by attitude & personality..
i'd say Michael Waltrip.
Michael is a very nice & funny guy. & his commercials are super funny [well...most of them].
Overall.i choose..Michael Waltrip. Robby Gordon
I find him to be a very aggresive driver. I always liked him and he is a great driver. Robby without a doubt. Nothing was ever handed to the guy and he's proving many doubters wrong. Three years ago Jimmy Spencer was relentless on how he'd never survive and now look at him. He's actually close to putting a second car on the track. And besides the man can flat out drive anything. Mikey. I actually think Michael Waltrip is because of his passion. I feel that if he stopped driving and just did the team ownership that they would be more competitive. Robby Gordon...absolutely NO CONTEST!! I really think Robby has what it takes to win. I hate his bad luck but his perserverence is something that I admire. I like him best because he is a NASCAR rebel...he is one of the few who hasn't been emasculated by the powers that be in NASCAR. Every week he is there...not just looking to stay on the lead lap but looking to win. I am looking forward to that day!!!
P.S. But I like Mikey's commercials.

17 is a Dewalt car but it is also sponsored by a company called R&L Carriers Green and Yellow you will see it on the back of the car and sometimes on the hood
Yes there is allotted space for local sponsors The also have at least 3 different cars that they use. Watch for different vehicle colors and Sponsors.
#1 NASCAR FAN It could be a small team looking for any sponsorship. I actually work for Weis and we were a co-sponsor for the race on some of the cars. We had certain products through out our store that if you purchased any of these products during the month of April you were entered into a drawing for tickets to the race at Pocono. Nass88 is right...they take all the sponsors they can get local or otherwise. I am pretty sure that any business can sponsor a car. The more $$ you have to sponsor the bigger the sticker or it would be in a spot that gets a lot of airtime. Budweiser sponsored Dale Jr. and had their name on his hood...for $20 Million. My husband is the Nascar fan, not me, and he went to the race at Pocono yesterday. I watched on TV and noticed when one of the cars was in the pit (a bigger name that I can't remember but did recognize) I noticed on the back of the car a logo for Weis supermarkets. They are a regional store, not national, and I was curious why it was on the car.
Finally, my question..do the drivers have "space" alloted for local sponsors when they compete at a race, or could this be a one time thing.
I was just curious and my hubby didn't know the answer right off the top of his head.
thanks in advance for your help. If you have the money, you too could sponsor a driver.
My husband owns a auto parts store (local...not even regional or national), and he sponsors two drivers on our local short circuit track. They give him the advertising, he gives them free and/or spare parts. It's a win/win for both parties. hopefully weis sponsored more than one car or they probably didn't get their money's worth - i could have sworn i saw that "weis" logo on the back of kyle busch's backup car as they pulled it off the hauler saturday, and on sunday he spent most of the race in the garage.
as for the sponsorship question, there's all variety of ways sponsors support cars, tracks, races, and series. the local grocery chain here, stater brothers, sponsors the nationwide race here in fontana. bottom line, if the sponsor has the money, they'll usually find a place for a logo - as long as it doesn't compete with another sponsor they have (bud and miller lite, alltel and at&t, etc.). some racers don't have enough sponsership for all the races..and take whatever deals they can get ..some do get a one race deal with area business.

OMG I didn't hear that. I think I would have choked if I had. We have friends that are gypsies and we call them pikeys all the time and they don't give a toss lmao. He'll probably get caned for that. Oh who cares? People are getting too soft-skinned for their own good.
If people are going to complain about that, maybe I should complain to Rai Uno (Italian TV for those who don't know) because they called Coulthard "inglese" on a dozen occasions yesterday...maybe having a Scot being wrongly attributed my nationality insulted MY essential "Englishness"...I wonder how much compensation I can get out of them for that...?
For those who have never had the "joy" of living in France, "rosbif" is a half-fun, half-pejorative (depending on the context) French slang name for an Englishman... it's probably more insulting than "paddy" but less insulting than "pikey" or "mick", or other expressions which might get me my answer deleted by the Y!A PC Police... Political correctness HAS gone mad. How on earth they can make a story out of that I don't know. Cant be any real news in the world..........
All hail Brundle! That was funny, who cares about it being PC?
Pikeys have offered to do my mum's drive 3 times in the last fortnight, perhaps we ought to give them the number for the Canadian F1 HQ? Who really cares?
Are people really that sensitive to what others say, or is PC a reaction to the compensation culture prevalent in our society today? well anything in f1 can be turned into a big news story.... It's not such a big deal really but for someone presenting a show live to millions of people it's unacceptable. It was a poor attempt at humor and it was totally unprofessional. Talk like that should be resevered for when they are away from the camera. F1 doesn't need this kind of negative **** right now and I hope he gets fined. When it aired I turned to my wife and said "There will be trouble over that"
xxFJ It was only a matter of time!
Your comments please
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-... i can't see what he has done wrong.
as a joke he called some fictional canadian workmen pikeys.
it was just before the start so there will have been nobody laying tarmac.
it was a JOKE.
and what was a matter of time?

Research? Who would need to research that question. That is sooo easy, I'm not even going to bother answering that. All these numbers represent a former record total of something or other in F1...the first 6 are records at the start of 1987, the next 6 are the records from the start of 1960...which record are they, who held the record, and who eventually broke the record? For the last six, which record did the driver named hold at some point in time?

I wouldn't use this site for your research: http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_driver... ...it has so many errors that you wonder if anyone who actually follows F1 has contributed to it... you are joking aren't you?
you have asked 18 questions, there is no clue as to what the questions are and f1 is boring. These answer are going to be so wrong!

Ford. It's a Mustang though. And my mom's got a Contour. ford well I'm to young to drive BUT I want to get a ford mustang BUT i would rather get a ford ranger
(sorry this isn't in nascar BUT)
my parents drive this AUSOME Pontiac Bonneville (it has a sun roof and leather and swaid interior) its so cool (they said the aren't going to let me drive it :(
and an GMC jimmy made in 1994 (its as old as me)
(i have driven it before) its loud and no matter where i am (as long as its not to far) i can hear when it starts and when who ever is driving it is close :) i like it its a good car/truck thing and its nice for fishing and hunting :) (but ir not really that loud but i can hear it like a street or two away) Chevrolet, manufacturer with the most championships!!!
BTW - I drive a 2007 Z71 Well my brother races a local dirt track Nascar series, and he drives a Chevy.
Chevy usually is the most efficient car, but ford is also efficient Well I drive a Toyota Camry and so do my parents. I wouldn't mind having a Prius, though! My parents have a Ford F-150 and a Toyota Camry. if you dont own a car, whats ur parents cars manufacture
ONLY ANSWER IF UR MANUFACTURE, RACES IN NASCAR
YOU CAN HAVE TWO CARS OR MORE Fords I've owned a '69 Chevy Camaro SS for 22 years. I also own an '87 GMC(Chevy) Suburban 4x4 and an '01 Lincoln(Ford) Town Car. My husband has a Dodge (it's a truck, though)
My car doesn't count
*lol..you drive a toyota? you said you were 13!* 94 Toyota truck, Honda Passport
American cars are JUNK..As much as I hate to say that, its true. Ive owned a Jeep, Pontiac, Ford (biggest piece of junk) and a Chevy. All those vehicles couldnt survive like a Jap car. I will never own an American car again, and thats sad cuz I prefer to own US made, but reliablity is priority. I drive a Ford F150 and my wife drives a Ford Focus. My favorite driver drives a Dodge. :) I drive a Chevrolet, but I plan to get a Ford soon
