03/16/2010 - Talladega, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Twenty-five Sprint Cup Series teams participated in a one-day test session at Talladega Superspeedway to determine the potential size of carburetor restrictor-plate openings and familiarize drivers with the new rear spoiler on the current cars.
While no announcement has been made yet, NASCAR is expected to replace the rear wing with the spoiler on the Car of Tomorrow (COT) prior to the April 25 Aaron's 499 at Talladega.
The wing has been a fixture of the COT since its debut three years ago at Bristol, where the series runs later this week. Teams have raised concerns about the wing, since it has reduced downforce on the cars. The spoiler was used on the previous cars.
NASCAR has been looking at ways to improve the COT, particularly after Carl Edwards' spectacular crash last April at Talladega. Edwards' car flew into the safety fence along the frontstretch on the final lap, injuring several fans in the grandstands. The incident raised concerns about the car.
Teams used various plate hole sizes in Tuesday's testing at Talladega.
"With the bigger plate and the bigger spoiler, the car accelerates a lot faster," Martin Truex Jr. said. "The cars definitely get up to speed a lot quicker. They feel like they have a lot more drag on them."
The morning session featured single-car runs, while drafting took place later in the day.
"I felt like we learned some things, enough to where we could go ahead and start getting in the draft," Jeff Gordon said after the morning session. "There was about five of us out there. It was definitely productive. Nothing eye-opening. Felt like it went well. The cars have a little bit more turbulent air when you're behind other cars."
NASCAR might also make modifications to the restrictor plates for Talladega.
"Today is primarily a confirmation test that the gear ratio we select is right and is compatible with the restrictor plate size," NASCAR manager director of competition John Darby said.
NASCAR used a bigger restrictor plate for last month's Daytona 500 to allow drivers to have more horsepower. The size of the plate holes was increased to 63/64ths of an inch, making it the largest restrictor plate since the 1989 Daytona 500.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
