NASCAR Inspection

I believe, NASCAR's effort is going to have a direct and harder impact on the smaller (any left?) teams in the garage area.  Race teams have always stretched the limits and gray zones.  That's what NASCAR is all about.

Now, with NASCAR's new announced inspection process (see below), only the large teams - the ones with the big multi-car, Fortune-100 backed teams, will be able (thanks to ressources) to "try", several times, before making it thru inspections and still get to practice.

But, again I could be wrong....

M.P.

Officials distributed a memo to teams today informing them of the move, which will be in effect starting with this weekend's Campingworld.com 500 atPhoenix International Raceway (3:30 p.m. ET, Sunday, FOX).


Should a team require more than two trips through inspection, the 15-minute penalty would come during the next scheduled practice. It would not be imposed as part of a qualifying session.

The pre-qualifying inspection process has been a source of concern this year as teams adapted to the 2015 rules package.
