Everything about the New Fuel Injection System
Beginning 2012, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) will introduce the use of fuel injection system for their Daytona 500 Sprint Cup race.
This innovation will pave way for the elimination of carburetors that has been known before. The fuel injection system works differently compare to the carburetors, the new system will use an electronic sensor to determine the proper fuel/air combination needed for a specific engine. A system mapping will be required in order to properly execute this calculation. A sensor will be present for gauging the temperature of the oil, air, fuel, and coolant as well as the pressure coming from them.
The fuel injection system that cost around $20,000 to $25,000 is a combined effort from some of the best electronic and semiconductor specialists in the country. The system’s electric control was made by McLaren Electronic Systems, the throttle bodies came from Holley while the Freescale Semiconductor Company was the one that develop the microprocessor. Having the best companies to develop this new system makes a whole new impact when it comes to assurance and dependability; it is also worth noting that these companies especially the McLaren has no track record of failure when it comes to their electronic control units.
A possible fuel saving features can be seen using the new system since the cylinders will get more fuel inside and there will be less outside splash. One more thing that makes this change great is the system’s dependable features. Aside from having firewalls and being password protected the unit will shut down when its program was tampered, making sure that no one can do something that would jeopardize the race like using it for traction control. The correct software will be given during the race weekend then in order to foul-proof the system NASCAR will download the data from the five top racers to cross examine afterwards. The team can download the data during practice or after, they cannot however download live feed during the competition. This is enforced to prevent deliberate adjustment or any result.
NASCAR fans won’t notice any obvious change when the use of fuel injection system starts, for one thing there will be no change in sounds and the engine will still run as smooth as before. The fans however could speculate using the tell-tale sign especially when the fuel runs out since the engine will completely shutdown, also during engine troubleshooting the fans could also realize the change when they see the computers being used during diagnostic.

NASCAR News: Giants Propelled for the Super Bowl Triumph and Victory
In Daytona Beach, Florida the Giants made it possible to defeat the NE Patriots at the Daytona Football 500. The game employed awe-inspiring, thrilling, and breathtaking defensive package that was named after an equally awe-inspiring, thrilling, and breathtaking sport called NASCAR which is expected to be held again this February.
The moniker and its origin: makes sense. Have a look…
De Justin has attended college in Notre Dame, a 3-hour drive from the Indianapolis Motors Speedway. If you are going to look at Justin during the game, you will be reminded of a person in the 1989 Daytona International Speedway Competition who has bagged the championship title? The man referred to here is Darrell Waltrip
De Osi Umenyiora now comes with that energetic swim move who went to college in Troy University, a school which is 2.5 hours’ drive from Talladega Speedway. His moves were quite fabulous during the game: juking right and swatting the helpless defender then launching left. With all these moves, can you still imagine the slingshot maneuver which also happen on the February 26 Lap 200?
De Jason Piere-Paul now gets everyone down. This guy went to south Florida University near the NASCAR bookend tracks – the Homestead and Daytona Miami Speedway. JPP’s specialty is to make off-the-block speeds and he makes sure that this specialty is performed each time he joins a single game. If only NFL had the award for the fastest during the restart then this award (NASCAR has), JPP will get the award every time.
With all these backgrounds of these amazing guys, there is no wonder why they are nicknamed as Giants after making a victorious run during the most competitive type of motor sport in the world.
Justin Tuck said the Giants came up with the NASCAR spirit. They call NASCAR as their speed package. The Gants call NASCAR that way simply because they are all, in some ways related to NASCAR and Speedmotors and that is something that feels right to them.
If there’s going to be a competition on who is really the fastest then that remains to be unraveled soon.
Many of the NASCAR drivers who appeared the Super Bowl include Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne, Ty and Austin Dillon. These guys and others made the event quite exciting for spectators and players as well.
The next Daytona 500 NASCAR’s best will come running on February 26, 1 PM on FOX.

It added that NASCAR have looked at the issue from every point of view and have collected feedbacks from the involved parties. Moreover, while the issues on sponsorship are always present and other union still releasing undisclosed and disclosed penalties, the NASCAR had resolved that fines will only be released and made known to the public when all that are involved have been informed. This includes competitors or organizations that have done something against the rules.
Just recently in the midst of Keselowski secret fines, Brian France, Nascar Chairman made a statement defending NASCAR’s undisclosed fines but added that if making it publicly will be beneficial to everybody, NASCAR is open. The announcement that was made making all fines to go public is a proof that NASCAR took the decision as beneficial to all.
RCR driver Paul Menard shares the same opinion and just like most drivers, he sees the decision as a cool move.
