Answer 1

Answer 2

I have heard the tape called "100 MPH Tape" and it's  made by 3M

There is also a 200 mph duct take too. I guess they have different names for it. http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/d...

I'm sure you are correct too 18fan. I was just adding to the question based on what I remember it being called on TV.

Answer 3

It's called racers tape, 100 mph tape....nick names for duct tape. Just like Ice said...3M makes it. It comes in silver & black. =o`)

Answer 4

Bare Bond or Bear Bond or Bera Bond tape (different articles spell it differently), but most spell it "bare bond" (google "bare bond nascar").

from: http://www.whowon.com/sresults.asp?Sanct...

"As soon as he could, Elliott brought the no. 21 down pit road to fix the fenders on the front and the rear. Taped up with bare-bond, the crew sent Bill back out on the track to keep him on the lead lap as the caution car turned onto turn four. "

from: http://www.al.com/sports/birminghamnews/...

"It [the pit box] houses all of our basic hand tools and the normal crash stuff including saws and Bear Bond (a type of heavy-duty tape)."

and finally from: http://www.frontstretch.com/otherpr/1719...

"When the red flag was lifted, the No. 2 came down pit road. The Greenville-Toyota team pulled the fenders out and secured them with Bera Bond tape. Returning to the track, the No. 2 restarted in the 22nd position."

ps. i believe the 100mph tape and other duct tapes are the smaller tapes, the big "patches" they use are bare bond. i can't find any reference to it at a hardware store...

pps. i wonder why i can't find any links to the big patches of tape anywhere - like the ones used on tony's nationwide car last week. you think it'd be listed somewhere - at a home improvement or car shop or somewhere...
