Chrud Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Copied from Jayski _______________ With less than rave reviews of the ever-changing track surface at Lowe's Motor Speedway from Chasers Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle and Mark Martin afer a test last week, NASCAR officials are considering running restrictor plates on the cars in the October 15 race at Charlotte. Stewart and Biffle wrecked two cars apiece during the tests. After plowing his car at 170 mph into the Turn 2 wall, Biffle felt the aftereffects last weekend at Dover. "From the eye, the track looks good," Biffle says. But the tire compound doesn't work well with the track's new surface. NASCAR doesn't expect any relief until the track is repaved after the race.(Sporting News/Lee Spencer)(9-26-2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Re: Two Plate Races in the Chase? Plates at Lowes would suck. However... the surface sounds dangerous now. They better do something quick! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: Two Plate Races in the Chase? LOL! Yeah, something has to be done. I would expect something similar to the spring, a NASCAR (all series) record for cautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deldeer Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Re: Two Plate Races in the Chase? i can't see them doing that at lowes.....i think they may massage the rear spoiler, & the front clip, or bring a different tire compound.......i don't think plates will help as much as more downforce would......just my take....
