I am a new fan of the sport, and look forward to Sunday’s big race in Daytona! I will be following it more closely with the introduction of Toyota’s and what you guys are saying about swaying and loose feel. Hope Tony Stewart has a better showing this year!

They were talking a lot about the cars being extremely loose and some aggrevation with the bump stops caused by the COT, but you’re right, it didn’t really show too much in last night’s race. I agree that it was partially due to a field mostly full of good drivers, but I also think that anyone who didn’t have a legitimate shot at winning the race chose to just ride the track and get some real practice in the new car. The car was definitely swaying, which I thought was odd since it didn’t really seem that bad when they raced ‘Dega with it last year. What I’m curious to see is how the open wheel guys are going to do with this car at Daytona, given the handling issues that have come up.

It seemed like the yotas could really work well with the chevy’s and of course u8s jr fans thought it was awsome but what do you think of the way it seems the cars get pulled side to side it was alright last with a good set of drivers out there but double the cars and throw a couple of people not used to driving cup cars there could be a lot of the cot headed to the junk yard.
