Todd is great because he still goes into every curve and analyzes every inch. It's a trait not many drivers have. He's very bright, and very impressive to talk to.

Tattooed across NASCAR drivers' jumpsuits and over every square inch of their cars are the logos of the companies sponsoring the teams, underwriting the costs, paying their salaries. Everyone can see who the drivers represent and who is footing the bill.

We can push the conductor bundles as much as 3/16 of an inch, though it's rare we have to do that. For analysis, the software report is dumped to a spreadsheet. This data guides the coil-winding team in loosening the clamps and tweaking the alignment of the conductor layers, helping us get the coil in the right place with minimal manipulation.
