Why does Yates Racing have such b ad cars when Rousch Racing has the same cars and is dominating alot of races

At a guess, it could just be the way the cars have been set up by the teams operating them - e.g. too much fuel, tyre pressures, suspension geometry, way the cars are being driven perhaps wearing the tyres out faster while the other teams drivers are preserving them better.

This is the first intelligent question about Jimmie Johnson that I've seen in a long time.This one makes good sense.\n Once again as a Busch driver I liked him but when he came to Cup he became a clone of his cars co-owner,thus Wonderboy and company.\n I sure would like to see him and Gordon befall to problems.For the cheaters at the first of the year should not be the victors at the end.

Going out on a limb here...\n\nThink Ricky Klarr is a former drag racer of the now, NHRA, national hot rod association from 30 years ago. After he retired, he became a parts manufacturer for drag cars, specializing in fuel systems. His company no longer supplies parts to the NHRA.

Hell no a chevy ain't better than a Ford,  who won the race, a Ford, who won the truck race the night before, Mark Martin in a ford, who won Sunday, Greg Biffle in a Ford.  Nascar loves Chevy and wants Chevy on top and just like a question I asked on here a while back.  Nascar loves Chevy and will do anything to get them to win, ie  3 inches of kickout on the nose for front downforce and unlike the answer I got from someone who doesn't know, the way the extra kickout is and rake of it, does not produce more drag.  Ford on the other hand, has the closest front end to the street car of any of the manufacturers by nascar rule with no concessions therefore the Ford has a disadvantage to the other 2 and still wins races.   Also I will add some to my answer like I got on mine,  I drive a miriad of Chevy vehicles at my work and sure glad my personal vehicles are Fords.  rattling heaps if you ask me.  Chevrolet stands for   Complete Heap Every Valve Rattles On Long Extended Trips!!!!!!!

Comments like that is why there is rivalries.  Yes- I am a Jeff Gordon fan and he earned his way to Nascar- starting out in go-carts, sprint cars, midgets!

Kevin Harvick.  He's swept Phoenix this year, won also at Watkin's Glen, Richmond, and New Hampshire.  He had 3 races that should have been total losses in the Chase and made something of them, including a 6th at Talladega when he was caught in the Big One.  Him and his team took a 30th place car at Kansas and took 15th with it.  He took a top-5 in Texas twice this season, and we haven't seen everything yet from him.  Harvick is a rare breed.  He has the potential to win about 10 per year, but hasn't had the equipment to do it yet.  Anyone can say what they want, but if he had a Hendrick car, there wouldn't be 5 drivers still mathematically alive to win it.

It is hard on the part of the driver becoz of hard braking and less wider track to overtake. It is frustrating for the leading driver becoz the gap close whenever a safety car is deployed for a driver crashed at twenty second place. And even terrible on team principal like Suderia to take the penalty for the drivers error which have not been done deliberately.

Unfortunately, I'd have to wager that Mikey won't make it.  Bill Davis Racing just isn't a powerhouse, like Roush or Hendrick.  It is very unfortunate that this happens to good drivers, but this is how it goes.

rivalries..it's what helps the sport breed. everyone has their own reason for not liking a certain driver, and it's directed at those 3 and you are going to start seeing a lot of 48 haters too..why?? well b/c they are some of the most commercialized drivers out there. for some reason everyone has put jr and gordon as rivalries even though they have never had a run-in..jr has stepped in to the sport, in that sense, where his dad left off. they are two different types of drivers. the earnhardts are a little more agressive and jeff is a little more relaxed and laid back type.. \nas for tony, well he's had his temper issues that people don't like..but in the end everyone has to have a driver to hate..

If and when they switch to the Car of Tomorrow, Nascar will then be a lot like Iroc. I have mixed feelings about it though. On the one hand, it will even the playing field. On the other hand, It takes away the manufacturers rivalry.

The engines are different for the two classes and Busch cars are allowed less tires per race than Cup cars. There are different template rules also and the Busch cars are 100 pounds lighter and 5" shorter wheelbase.\nHere is a link which gives more detail to the differences. http://www.tricklefan.com/manual/div_busch.html

Off the showroom floor they would be fine IF ONLY racing each other.It would turn a 3hr race into a 5 or 6 hr race, though. Tires, engine rpm&horsepower, brakes, transmission, suspension telemetry, weight and car balance would prevent showroom cars from performing at the level the Nextel/Busch cars do(eg.150mph LAP). The NNS/NBS cars would leave them so far behind you would think Kyle Petty was driving them. The stock cars look "the same" because of the evolution of racing.  In the spirit of competition more equal cars provide closer (more exciting) racing.

The cars might look alike but there is a huge difference. On speed, Indy cars are faster but this is more due to the type of track that they race on. You can go flat out better on an oval track than a track with turns and chicanes. And especially now that F1 uses V8s instead of the V10s. On an oval track you make very few gear changes while on a specially designed F1 track as more as 3,000 gear changes. On the design, F1 cars a built with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency. And each car has a specific aero specification for each circuit. The FIA have limited development on very few areas of the car. So that's were geniuses like Adrian Newey and Rory Byrne work their magic. On tracks like Monaco cars use more downforce. In F1, teams have to construct their own chassis while in IRL they are allowed to buy it. F1 is also the riches with Team Mclaren-Mercedes being the highest spender for 2005. An F1, team employs about 500 or more people for engine development, aero and etc. And in terms of popularity, F1 is reportedly the second most watched sporting event next to the World Cup.

What are you asking? There are two companies I think you are talking about: 1) Unique Autosports, & 2) Unique Performance.

You may have seen trucks heading to next week's race at Phoenix or to swap out with the personnel in Texas. (A lot of the teams do this--no reason why the SPEED folks couldn't do the same.)  There also could be trucks from this weekend heading back to Speed Channel's base, which I believe is in Charlotte.
