Nascar Multi Car Teams
By By Steve Dixon
As everyone knows team owners Roush and Childress are dominating this season. At first glance you would think that more money, better engineers and drivers would be the reason why and that is true to some extent. Right now you have to be asking yourself what else could it be? Remember back when some of the prominent teams in started adding a second car. At the time, even though was encouraging it, most people were saying 2 car teams would not work because it was just too expensive. Nascar, wanting more competitive cars at the race track every week, and realizing that there were not a lot of new car owners stepping onto the track, knew that they had to do something. The quickest way to get more cars every week was to help the existing car owners afford more cars!!! Here in lies the rub, one of the ways decided to cut team costs, was to limit the number tracks each car could test at every year. Less testing less team money spent equals more cars. At the time this seemed like a pretty good idea and it worked for a while. Ohhhhh….but
look at it now!!!! You have 5 car teams with the ability to test on every track and share that information with all their crew chiefs and 1 car teams that can test on less than half the tracks. Add to that the aero changes makes every year which virtually eliminates last years setup numbers and what a tremendous advantage 5 car teams have over 1 car teams. While the intent of this rule was never meant to give one team an advantage over another, it never the less has, and needs to be addressed. There are a lot of ways to correct this and should be looking at this issue right now so that changes can be made before next season gets started. bills themselves as the most competitive car racing in the world. I sure hope they plan to keep it that way. Steve Dixon is a computer consultant, website designer and is an avid fan of NASCAR.
