NASCAR: Under the skin of a NASCAR Sprint Cup car (video)

By ,

Here's a video produced by Auto123.com that explains the steps involved in the construction of a NASCAR Sprint Cup race car.



To understand how complex is the chassis of a Sprint Cup, we interviewed Steve Hallam, a former Formula 1 engineer with teams Lotus and McLaren, and now vice-president of competition at Michael Waltrip Racing .

Hallam describes the steps required in building a Sprint Cup car, and tells the basic differences between the purebred, 850 horsepower race machine and your everyday car.
