LVMS welcomes smaller fuel cells

NASCAR’s decision to use 13-gallon fuel cells for both the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 and Sam’s Town 300 will make for an even more exciting race," said LVMS general manager Chris Powell. “With the increase in the banking from 12 to 20 degrees, there are a lot of unknowns including race set up and tire compounds the teams will face for both races. This decision should keep the racing tighter and give the teams more opportunities to measure tire wear." “Plus, we moved the pit road 275 feet closer to the grandstands, so this will give all of the race fans even more opportunities to watch the excitement of the all-important pit stops."
