I don't see why they're using 98 octane unleaded? They could still have 112octane, but lead free, and they then don't get the detonation issues etc.. that are causing them problems. Sunoco make high octane unleaded, as do other US based oil & racing fuel companies.

Still, argree, they'd make one hell of a statement if they went Ethanol.

They'd go from zero's to hero's (maybe!) in the eyes of the tree huggers who have slated NASCAR for it's continual running on leaded guzzoline.

It all sounds like a spot of a smokescreen by they who don't want to make any changes. Hey! You've got CoT - which is "supposed" to help reduce costs, so why didn't they go fuel injection while they were at it?
