Harvick said that the problem probably has nothing to do with the concerns of overheating acting to push the car in the style of writing two cars, which dominated Speedweeks at Daytona. “I do not think so,” said Harvick. “Overheating would have happened at a point where it flies, you see the water start to come out (the radiator).”

But Burton said the style of racing at Daytona this tax year on engines.

“We ask a lot of drivers out here for you,” said Burton. “These are difficult situations.”

Team RCR engines are built by Earnhardt-Childress Racing, a joint venture between the team of Childress and Dale Earnhardt Inc. next Sunday issues, they were considered among the most powerful and reliable in the field.

Burton is not sure if the engines P. left by others in the area would be able to last.

“We thought we were well within our limits, but maybe not,” said Burton.

Harvick, the 2007 Daytona 500 champion, was a favorite early season Sunday after having shown a lot of speed during Speedweeks. He was lined up behind Matt Kenseth when his engine exploded, sending smoke from under his No. 29 Chevrolet.

“We never blow engines,” said Harvick.

Harvick said his oil temperature reading was a little high, and he was backing up from behind Kenseth’s car to take his car cooled when the engine exploded.

“We had an oil temperature reaches over, but nothing unusual, and I had just gone,” said Harvick. “At the beginning of the race, even if you get hot, it is usually not a catastrophic failure like we just had. ”

Harvick, who finished third in last year’s Sprint Cup, said it was an easy way to start the new season.

“Obviously, we arrive at the biggest race of the year, and that happens from the start is just something you do not really want to happen,” said Harvick. “It’s just a these things happen. We’re going years and years without engine failure, and they do a great job on this. It happens. ”

Kurt Busch has the pole position for today’s race, despite Earnhardt is listed as the first to start. Jeff Gordon will be n the front row next. With the possibility of lengthening the NFL season, which could put the Daytona 500 in conflict with the Super Bowl, and give teams more than one season, his 38 NASCAR compact weekends racing (36 events points) between the date of February and later on the weekend of Thanksgiving.

Typically, the Daytona 500 was run on the Sunday before the third Monday in February – the weekend before President’s Day. Now it will be the weekend following President’s Day, Daytona International Speedway president Joie Chitwood said.

The NFL, in its ongoing collective bargaining, plans to extend its season and the future Super Bowl dates had the potential to conflict with the 500.

Bud Shootout, The new track at Daytona International Speedway will be very welcoming to all those who want high-speed chase. Just ask Kyle Busch and Joey Logano. They all reached speeds over 203 mph during the final workout for the night Shootout Friday. They were not alone. Eight other drivers exceed 200 km / h as they are engaged in projects of two cars.

And like last season, NASCAR officials will host the aggressive driving, to reasonable limits. “The Shootout pits the top drivers all together at Daytona in a race and everyone will go for something -. The victory,” said Brian Vickers. “I like the direction the sport is heading to NASCAR wants us to ourselves on the track – racing hard – and does not” baby sit ‘as we bump into writing and it will be great. To a hell of a race. ”
The wait is over. Tonight at 8 ET on FOX, the NASCAR season begins with the operation of the Budweiser Shootout; a non-indent-point of the money will certainly be high intensity.

The 24 teams participating in Shootout tonight has a total of one hour and 45 minutes to practice Friday night, but it is still not enough to be able to predict what will happen tonight. Take Kevin Conway. Last year’s rookie of the year found no one to draft with sessions on Friday, but it is planned to start 16 24 drivers today. Derrike Cope is in a similar situation, even if he chose to focus on a single car drives it, but it started ninth session. This does not mean it’s a recipe for disaster for both drivers – remember that that’s life is in this race as a former winner of the Daytona 500 – but how they react is one of many great mysteries that will only be resolved tonight, when the green flag drops.

Tonight’s race will be a pleasure to watch the drivers take risks they would not no championship points on the line – oh, and for the reward money to win, not bad for a work overnight.

Regional offices are also located in New York, Los Angeles, Bentonville, Arkansas, and international offices in Mexico City and Toronto. In addition, because of his southern roots, all but a handful of NASCAR teams are still based in North Carolina, especially near Charlotte.

NASCAR is a sport most viewed work in terms of viewership in the United States. In fact, professional football is the only sport in the United States, have more viewers than NASCAR. Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. NASCAR holds 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events one day in the world and claims 75 million fans that purchase more than 3 billion and annual sales of licensed products. Fortune 500 companies that have sponsored NASCAR more than any other motor sport, although it has been in decline since the early 2000s.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Daytona Beach became known as the place to set world speed records on land, supplanting France and Belgium as the preferred location for the speed record with eight consecutive world records set between 1927 and 1935. After an historic race between Ransom Olds and Alexander Winton in 1903, the beach became a mecca for racing enthusiasts and 15 records were set on what became the Daytona Beach road course between 1905 and 1935. At the time the Bonneville Salt Flats became the premier destination for the pursuit of speed records in 1936, Daytona Beach became synonymous with fast cars. Drivers raced on a 4.1-mile (6.6 km) course, consisting of 1.5 to 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach as a straightaway, and a narrow paved road by the sea, A1A, than the other. Two tight, deep ruts and sand covered towers at each end connected the two straight lines.

Stock car racing in the United States has its origins in smuggling during Prohibition, when drivers ran contraband whiskey made primarily in the Appalachian region in the United States. Bootleggers needed to distribute their illicit products, and they typically used small fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many drivers change their cars for speed and handling and increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the frantic pace of driving on winding mountain roads.

The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 dried up some of their business, but by then Southerners had developed a taste for moon and a number of drivers continued, “runnin ‘shine, this time to evade” the tax “trying to impose their operations. The cars continued to improve, and by the late 1940s, races with these cars were running for pride and profit. These races have been fun People in the U.S. rural south, and are more closely associated with the Wilkes County region of North Carolina. Most races in those days were of modified cars. Vehicles, streets have been lightened and strengthened.

NASCAR replaces carburetors injection times during the 2012 season of Sprint Cup. But the limiter plates used to slow the cars at Daytona and Talladega will remain for the foreseeable future.

Freescale Semiconductor and McLaren Electronic Systems have introduced Friday at a news conference at Daytona International Speedway that companies chosen to produce the new fuel injectors. Freescale processors will provide for engine control units from McLaren. McLaren also provides teams Izod IndyCar and Formula One.

Thanks to the electronic fuel injection allows a precise amount of fuel depending on the amount of air flowing into the engine (carburetor is less effective because it establishes an optimum amount of fuel at a specific point during one engine cycle).

Peter van Manen, managing director of McLaren Electronic Systems, said fuel injection would give NASCAR more in their arsenal “to tinker with the restrictor plates are used to keep vehicles below 200 km / h and more long, fastest tracks on the circuit.

But the vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said plates have been “the easiest way and most economical” to reduce speed. Currently located on the carburetor to reduce the airflow to the engine (and thus steal cars a few hundred horses), Pemberton said the plate would go on a throttle body (“Part of the air flow through is basically the same”) in the fuel injection system.

“We knocked out several hundred horses, and this is the best way to settle it now,” said Pemberton. “We have a few things to work on next year to possibly change it.”
