Nascar Tech.

    GENTLEMEN START YOUR BROWSERS....  Welcome race fans to my Nascar Tech. page.  I hope it answers all of your questions relating to stock car racing.  This info. is as up to date as I can find, and will be changed with the '98 rule changes.  I'm pretty sure this is all 1997 stuff so you Taurus (yuck!) fans, will just have to wait.
