Drivers: Two-car drafts will continue

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers still expect two-car tandems to prevail in next month's Chase race at Talladega, despite organisers announcing technical changes this week in an attempt to hinder them. More horsepower through bigger holes in the restrictor plates and lower pressure on the relief valve of the cooling system are the two steps NASCAR has taken towards trying to limit the new style of racing that has ruled at Daytona and Talladega this year. While marginally higher speeds are expected as a result, drivers seem to agree that there will not be a change in the way the race unfolds
