Softer springs, smaller spoilers, smaller radiators, new fuel system and a no-talk rule are all the new rage in NASCAR for this 2012 season… is everyone ready for some racin’? I know I sure am… NASCAR has always been good to me, and the folks within the industry are just awesome to deal with, so bring it ON!

With the Daytona 500 only 45 days away, well, one of the longest sportings seasons is about to get back underway, and it started with PreSeason Thunder as the teams got to get out on the track and test the new scenarios they’ll be up against when the 2012 NASCAR season commences once again.
Jeff Gordon paced the morning pack today in practice hitting a lap speed of 192.773 as everyone got on-track and practiced their solo and two-car runs, to see how things are going to shake out.
Kyle Busch, with Joey Logano tailing him, paced the afternoon pack with a 202.402 speed.
And not to mention, how the new fuel injected systems are going to work for the gang.
As teams hit up the track, this is the race, the Super Bowl of NASCAR. Sure, it’s the first race of the season, but it’s a storied track and many important events have taken place here, in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Coming into today, everyone was looking to get a feel for the smaller spoiler, smaller radiator & larger restrictor plate! And I presume, they were also possibly playing around with the new radio rule, which is no more chatter between drivers in a race.
