True, but JGR has been out of character lately and been struggling a bit recently. Not saying they couldn't win there, but I don't see the recent performance indicating a "W" in TX. You bring up Burton...means you bring up Roush and those teams have been strong there in the past. I wouldn't be surprised to see Edwards, Stenhouse or Biffle do well...again you would have to throw RPM in there too because of affiliation... I don't believe RCR is in the picture yet, but I will go out on a limb and say Newman runs well there...might have a shot... but TX is where we could see a repeat winner for the season. Earnhardt or Harvick.
Have you read the article on engine changes to NASCAR teams? They were talking about hopefully by 2015, but definite for 2016 horsepower reductions. I welcome it...I have never figured out why they needed to run 900 horse motors at Martinsville, Bristol, Darlington...hell anywhere...it is as big of a contributing factor to aero push issues as the design of the body of the car. I have always said... lower hspwr... better racing... the aero in the corners is greatly affected at 200+ mph in turn 1 and 3 versus 180 at MIS...that 20mph is worth a ton of grip, passing ability, then you can take gear rule and throw it out the damn window too... open the playbook for the teams..back to some of the good ol days. Just wondering your opinion on this. I know most don't, but I like the idea.
