My Fourth Race EVER in Vintage NASCAR Monte Carlo! Things Get Crazy...

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Mike Wallace explains the competition caution rules: there will be cautions at lap 25 and lap 50, followed by a final dash. The driver notes he missed the driver's meeting where these rules were likely explained, as the time was changed without notification. He then makes further adjustments to his car's track bar to improve its turning ability and tapes the grille, joking that it adds '10 years of experience.'

Goal: Implement tactical adjustments based on practice performance and race strategy

Tools and materials

  • Race Car — The vehicle requiring adjustment
  • Tape — Taping the car's grille
