Several of the Cup races this year, including the past two which constitute the first two of the infamous Cup, have been won on fuel mileage and many points LOST due to lack of fuel mileage. The answer is so very simple I am amazed that it continues to elude the best engineers in the sport.
It's not bigger fuel cells although I think the 18 gallon cell is a less than intelligent move by NASCAR but it's their call to be made and they have made it. The answer to situations like running out of fuel with one, two or three laps to go is as simple as N E X U S Fuel additive. That's right, one of Racers Reunions very own supporters.
When I first personally tested NEXUS back in January, I wrote of the results which were, to me at the time, very good. The more I used the product, the more impressed I was and continue to be. I am, however, currently out of the product so I need to move quickly to get more. The mileage in my Honda Odyssey improved by 4 to 5 miles per gallon on the road on an average trip and about 3 miles per gallon in town. Think of what it could do for the boys running for the cup. Clint Bowyer would have been able to win today in New Hampshire. Chicagoland would have had a different outcome. I have no problem with Smoke leading the standings in the Chase, but I think something as simple as a can of NEXUS in each can of the SUNOCO RACING FUEL, always so carefully pronounced by the tv folks, would make a big difference in race finishes. I guarantee it!!!! Surely NASCAR can't object to the addition of an American Manufactured fuel additive product when it is so busy promoting the efforts being made to "go green" as they say.
In short, NEXUS for race cars is a "no brainer" as they say. If there is any current pop term with which NASCAR brass should have more than a passing acquaintance, it is "no brainer". So, have at it boys! Pop that NEXUS in your tank. See what happens.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
