BROOKLYN, Mich. – As is typical for a Nationwide Series visit to Michigan International Speedway, NASCAR put cars on a chassis dynamometer to check horsepower.
After the race, NASCAR put 10 cars on the dynamometer.
Those taken were the Roush Fenway Racing Fords of Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle, the Toyotas of Braun Racing’s Brian Vickers and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Tony Stewart and Joey Logano, the Chevrolets of JR Motorsports’ Mark Martin and Brad Keselowski, Phoenix Racing’s Mike Bliss and Richard Childress Racing's Clint Bowyer and the Dodge of Chip Ganassi Racing’s Dario Franchitti.
NASCAR recently changed a rule in the size of the spacer that restricts airflow in the Nationwide Series engines to limit the horsepower of the Toyotas.
