TWO Nascar Questions!!!?

Question

1. What is up with the colored wheels in Nascar? MWR races chrome rims, Red Bull Racing has red and black rims on both cars, and Kurt Busch's Miller Lite Dodge has blue wheels... So here's the question. Why doesn't every Nascar team race with colored wheels?

2. Is Honda coming to Nascar? Just wondering...?

Answer 1

Take notice of this, the teams who have the time to paint or chrome their rims are not really contenders. Maybe they should spend more time on setup than cosmetics. As for honda i hope not

Hey y'all take the time to say a little prayer for our friends in the gulf Gustav is coming

Answer 2

I'm guessing they just thought it was something different that isn't very common to stand out.  I think it's cool how they put the bull sticker in front of the back whell that's red so it looks like the bull is running when the car's going around the track.  I never would've thought of that...  I haven't heard anything about Honda though.

Answer 3

i think tbone answered correctly

couldnt be much clearer

Answer 4

It's just what the owner wants. I like MWR's chrome wheels. Red bull racing used red on the back to help make the bull that's on the back of the car look bigger. Whith the red it makes it look all together. I think it's pretty costly to use colored wheels. If you notice the teams that run colored wheels don't run that well. They should put all that money into r&d.

I think Honda will be in Nascar before too long. And I think Hendrick will bring them in.  

Answer 5

I think Honda's content with IRL for now.

Answer 6

Colored wheels retain less heat.  Thats why you don't see many chrome wheels.    I honestly don't know why MWR uses the chrome. Maybe to build up more air pressure in the tires as a green flag run goes on.

Black rims retain the least heat.  Thats why most teams use black rims.

Answer 7

Well I believe they used Black because of the neutral color when they felt that chrome wheels held in too much heat. Are MWR wheels actually chrome or powder coated bright silver I wonder. As for Red Bull racing? If you notice the red wheels help make the bull more visible.

Honda in NASCAR?  Just a matter of time I think...  JMO

Answer 8

i like the red on the red bull cars. i think mwr just does it because the rims look pretty cool, until they run about 20 laps and the brake dust makes it just look gray. lol. idk if they cost much more than regular rims but if they do i think mwr should worry about other stuff besides rims. no offense to any mwr fans.

Answer 9

you should see Green Bean with his shirt off
