While checking out this "new found" source of NASCAR racing info at Yahoo Sports, I discovered a story by Bob Margolis. Just published today, he has uncovered a secret test track that Hendrick has been using in Idaho, of all places. See the story at NASCAR on Yahoo! Sports - News, Scores, Standings, Rumors, Fantasy Games.


Here's a quote from the article that is interesting:

Hendrick also admitted that it was first tested and then used successfully by World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb.

I received word early Tuesday morning that there has been a press conference scheduled for this Friday morning at Texas Motor Speedway in which the device will be put on display and all four Hendrick drivers and crew chiefs, along with Rick Hendrick, will be available for questioning.

"I think the time is now to come clean on all of this," said Hendrick. "I personally have been troubled with this. Just look at how it's affected our karma this season.

"It's time to put this all behind us and move on. I hope our sponsors and fans will understand that we were only trying our best to help Jeff, Jimmie, Dale and Casey to win. And everyone knows they've needed the help this year."

The device was never given a name by the Hendrick engineers, so as to keep its secrecy. It's official part number was "RF220." People within the Hendrick organization had been referring to it quietly as "the piece."

You and me both. Did Margolis actually write an April Fools article? If so, that's downright shameful.

Ha! Got me. But then the title of this thread is so believable with the Dark Side.

I heard HMS has a secret track in some place called Area 51. They're working on some sort of special sway-bar thing.
