Another element of panic has set in here among stock-car teams as the last round of Daytona 500 testing winds up. The problem? A threat of numerous blown engines in the Daytona 500 next month, because of a big jump in engine RPM, under NASCAR's new rules. NASCAR officials are expected to throttle-back a bit with a minor rules change for the 500, but will it be enough? The first problem during the two weeks of testing was tires, which now seems to be fairly well resolved. Then it was the Toyota, with all 11 Toyota drivers considerably faster than everybody else except Rick Hendrick's Chevy men. Now it's the engines, with durability and Toyota's obvious edge the issues. -- Winston-Salem Journal

Hopefully Dougie will go to work with the same effort he puts in to his whining. Bring back Robert.

I agree, Wing. I've stated before that I have little faith in Doug.
