Ryan Newman’s winning car at Texas was 40 pounds light during post-race inspection, and NASCAR officials couldn’t figure out why. Turns out that two radiator hose clamps broke during the race, and the radiator had run dry. Crew chief Matt Borland estimated that Newman could have run five more laps at best. So, after the team put the fluids back into the #12 and filled it with gas, the car was within the accepted weight range.( Sporting News )(3-31-2003)
