Interesting crash by Ryan Newman today. Glad he is ok. His car went airborne despite: 1) The roof spoilers popping open – they were invented to help kill lift and keep the car glued to the ground 2) the paved area – paved to scrub speed to keep the cars from going airborne, and 3) the smaller restrictor plate designed to slow the cars down (again), to keep them from going airborne. I don’t know what the stall speed is of a airplane wing shaped NASCAR car, but I guess it’s less than 190-ish.
 
Yeah, Ryan had one heck of a ride! Good to see him finally get out of that wreck, must be rough hanging upside down like that for so long too!

Read earlier today, that in 2011, NASCAR is finally going to make some changes to the CoT. Most will be to the front end of the body, they want them to look more like the production cars they represent! That should make most of the drivers real happy,LOL
 
Hey All,

Yeah it was good to see Ryan come out of that one OK. He had a worse one in 03 though.

I saw that and it's amazing that he is ok. Restrictor plates and rules against bumb drafting will not stop this from happening on the super speedways.
 
It's that spoiler on the trunk that causes them to get airborne when the turn around at 190. Acts like a wing & counters the spoilers on the roof. All in all a lousy race, but II as glad to see Jamie McMurry (sp) win.
