Template wars

Written by Josh Katinger · June 18, 2003

Here is an interesting perspective on how NASCAR’s common templates cause on track rivalries. When all the cars are that close in performace, you have to do a little extra bumpin’ & grindin’ to get ahead. And that leads to ongoing rivalries like Gordon and Marlin…or Marlin and Johnson…..or Marlin and….hey wait…maybe it’s just Sterling….

And after all, isn’t the whole goal close competition in NASCAR’s eyes?
