Well it IS Nascar for road racing, isn't it?

I was surprised they didn't throw a yellow with Justin Wilson's phantom debris caused him to jump into the garage. Can't ever be too careful, right?

(Somewhat related, in the Danica exhibition race, notice how ARCA didn't throw a yellow two laps from the end when that last skirmish happened?)

In addition, they had to live within the GA rules constraints on bore/stroke/restriction and use of a Delco throttle body.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read/heard the Cayenne motor was really an Audi, licensed to Porsche.

It is my understanding, after a few conversations with PCNA, that VW actually pays Porsche a royalty every time a Taureg is produced. Seems to me that indicates sharing in a different direction...
