Daytona 500

hello people's; I was watching the race a bit last night and they where saying that that was the first race a fuel injected car made an apperance. I think they also said there was a V-6 out there and it was fast. I suppose with a six the weight saving could be used in there favor. Maybe better MPG also?
Any one know for sure or any input.

358ci is the limit for nascar motors.

Nice to see they moved to a more modern technology. Now if we could get them to use turbos.

hello; I guess there's a 2012 Toyota Camrey Daytona Pace car out there and maybe that's the v6 they where talking about.

i think the last time NASCAR had a V6 in one of their top national series was in the late 80's when the teams in the Busch Grand National series (now called the Nationwide series) had the option of running a V6.
