NASCAR officials, in response to #99-Carl Edwards' flip at Daytona,
are now studying that slight aerodynamic rear spoiler [wing] change
suggested by Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, according to one top
Sprint Cup team manager privy to the technical debate. In fact that
change might have been tested at Daytona within the past few days,
during the 10-team Goodyear tire test for the tour's next restrictor
plate race, at Daytona July 4th. Despite the high publicity
surrounding the Talladega issue, crews here [Darlington] this week
have so far been reluctant to discuss any possible NASCAR changes at
the tour's two restrictor plate tracks. Goodyear officials said the
Daytona tire testing was to improve stability in the draft.

To paraphrase "Apollo Thirteen": If a washing machine can fly, some
