Will Anyone Be Legal at Bristol?
Stan Creekmore

NASCAR officials apparently have been telling crew chiefs in the NEXTEL Cup garage no one should fail inspection prior to the first practice session at Bristol Motor Speedway in two weeks.

If there was a car that passed every template during the recent Bristol test for the COT, no one can point it out. The Ford nose missed the template by 3/16's of an inch on both sides and there was a minor issue with the hood that must be worked out in a hurry. Chevrolet teams also had issues in the nose and tail sections. Dodge and Toyota were also not without issues but individuals in those camps were not talking.

The word now is NASCAR is going to relax the process, requiring teams to meet just four of the eight required points in the overall template.

And Nascar just put an official in the Toyota garage's. Not to watch what they are doing, but to help them figure out why they can't meet the template specs....

duh!

No Aero issue, this ain't a super speedway ........ the COT's should be cut some slack in inspections for Bristol.
