NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Director Wayne Auton said,
"Teams have gotten some good data on the new engine package which the trucks will run this season. With approximately 70 horsepower and 500 rpm (less), they are receiving good feedback from their drivers on how the truck compares to running here last season.
“The teams had a chance to get a good fuel run in at Daytona and Atlanta, which allows them to see what the new, reduced fuel cell size will do to their mileage, in addition to the aero underneath the truck.” Vehicles in all three NASCAR national series will carry roughly 17.75-gallon fuel cells in 2008 – a reduction of 4.25 gallons from a year ago in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Auton expects this year’s racing to be just as competitive as in previous years. “It should be an exciting season if testing is any indication how the different makes have done with both the Daytona test and the testing at Atlanta.” said Auton.
