Re: A salute to Tony Stewart
[ QUOTE ]
The thing is, I think the modifications are pretty interesting, but I never really hear about what modifications the team has made. Also, some of it is pretty in-depth and I've never heard explanations about what certain differences mean...
This might all be because I've never actually watched a full Nascar broadcast...

No, you're right. The reason you don't hear about a lot of these adjustments is because the teams don't want to give out all this info. This is fine in sports like football and basketball where you can tell which players are going where anyway. But in racing, there's no way you can tell from looking at a car what kind of adjustments the crew made to the wedge, alignment, etc. You have to rely on what the broadcasters tell you, which isn't always accurate or explained very well.
I'm not a huge nascar fan, but I like it when guys like Stewart and Gordon win because it pisses off all the 'necks here in Virginia.
