If you have ever watched NASCAR, you know that there are many different types of tracks. It is a challenge for the teams to set-up their cars to perform to their maximum potential for a particular track. At the bigger, wide open tracks like Daytona, there have been restrictions put on the cars to slow them down. Specifically, restrictor plates. These plates slow down the cars by choking the air going into the engine. Some people feel that this is unfair. | |||
