toyotatim Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Holy Cow man, Nascar confiscated Stewart Friesen's truck man. These guys dont play around. I love it man, push the envelope until it falls, and that is too far. You gotta love the passion, that is why they do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUmscheid 51 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 That truck was a “new generation” truck for GMS. That is why no $ or suspension penalties. They probably should’ve just brought that one as the backup or dropped a new gen truck off at the R&D center before bringing it to the track. Nothing deemed illegal yet but as a precaution, it wasn’t allowed on the track until looked at thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Yes sir, the Truck arm tunnel was built extremely tall and up into the floor pan area. It looked funny in the pic but lets see what happens if anything. Maybe that is so they get have more angle on the right truck arm? I think Nascar may thing that there is some aero advantage there directing air. I am not sure the truck arm is ever that high. But, there may not be a rule against it. "YET". It is good to see there are still guys willing to be innovative. Those guys did one heck of a job getting that backup ready and running as good as they did. He said it still had rubber on the chassis from the last race when they unloaded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish more would do that. Cheat em up a little boys, just think, if that truck arm tunnel kept their attention away from something else.
