Confused about Monday’s wind-tunnel results? — in light of Sunday’s Rockingham finish — so are most crew chiefs and NASCAR officials here. Dale Jarrett finished a lap down in fifth in a Ford, but his Taurus won the wind-tunnel testing. Bobby Labonte’s Pontiac lost in the wind tunnel after winning on the track at the Rock. And Dale Earnhardt’s Chevy finished runner-up in both competitions. Jarrett’s #88 Ford was 80 drag-horsepower better than Earnhardt’s #3 Chevy in the wind tunnel. But that was with wind blowing 200mph. At 145 mph — the average around Rockingham — it would be 35 drag-horsepower, out of about 1,000. See full story at PitNow by Mike Mulhern(3-4-2000)
