As we enter into this week’s two-day Car of Tomorrow test session at Bristol Motor Speedway, the No. 1 question on that everyone was asking was how the spec car’s front splitter would react to damage. Clint Bowyer answered that question firsthand Thursday morning. Bowyer was in the middle of a long run and was nearly ready to bring his No. 07 Chevrolet back to pit road when he lost it in Turn 4 and hit the wall.
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also oversees NASCAR Regional Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the Whelen All-American Series. With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking.
