Spec Engines for NNS/Trucks?

If this happens, I'll have a lot more time to do other things on weekends. Racing with ('crate' engines) is not real racing as far as I'm concerned.

Spec Engines for NNS/Trucks? Detroit's NASCAR people are talking with NASCAR officials about a new 'spec' engine ('crate' engine) program for the Truck and Nationwide series, which could be supplied by a 'consortium' of engineers from the four NASCAR car makers, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Chevy. However NASCAR executives have so far shown little interest in such a program. According to one Detroit executive, such a 'spec' engine program could provide competitive Truck and Nationwide engines to a team for perhaps as little as $600,000 for the season.(mikemulhern.net)(6-22-2009)

I know what you mean. We hear more and more from Mulhearn these days. Makes me miss David Poole even more.

I hear you on that. Whether you agreed with him or not, David helped keep everybody honest. It's not easy to fill his shoes and Mulhearn isn't even in contention for the role.
