The science of speed

In case you don't take the Sunday paper, I wanted to plug Dustin Long's story that ran a few days ago. He spent a lot of time with the 01 team that lost the Daytona 500 by not even thismuch, and he produced a good read on how the team got Martin's car ready for the 600.

Martin started 11th (thanks to a bad bounce of a ping pong ball) and finished 11th (because the 01 team should have been looking for better gas mileage, not speed). Check it out if you missed it.
