Lowe's repaved and ?
With all the complaints about the condition of the track at Lowe's from the last race and test sessions, it looks like it will get repaved. Not before this years race, but next year. I haven't heard of any time table on it though.
I have not problem with that, if it'll help the racing, I'm all for it. There is one thing that's been going around about Lowe's that I don't like. Granted, it is just talk at the moment, but restrictor plates were mentioned! I don't know about you, but I don't want more restrictor plate races. Let's just hope this is something that won't happen.

If they use restrictor plates at LMS it will be the most obvious way nascar has ever tried to help dale jr. He is the restrictor plate king, or he used to be anyway before they finally started running the same spoiler as everyone else.

Come on Cindy, is that an attempt at satire? Junior's reign as "plate king" is over. And please provide a link that outlines his use of a different spoiler than the rest of the field.
With the speeds being run at Lowes now, and with 1-2 more mph on a newly resurfaced track they may have no choice but to use the restrictor plate. And you can add Atlanta also. Speeds there are also approaching the level where it may be needed.
The ultimate answer of course is a downsize of engine horsepower and tossing plates into the dustbin of history. That in the form of "the engine of the future" has been stopped short by both the teams and car companies.
