I have a simple question... Since there isn't anything "stock" in a stock car, why are they called "Stock Car's"?? Mark
Because "Stock Appearing Car" is too long. The bodys are all fit to a template that is made from a production car. So, to a point, (they have changed some for safty) the cars on the track are the same as a "stock" car off of the showroom floor. Mike

After about 30 laps at Martinsville, they don't look quite as clean as the showroom models. <g> Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports
