Great changes take place over NASCAR and for the coming weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway another transformation will occur. While the Nextel Cup drivers are driving their old familiar cars which they drive for years after the first two races in the car of tomorrow, the rest of the Chevrolet entries are powered by a new Chevrolet engine.Chevrolet maker of quality system design, developing an engine for nine years and for the first time will make his racing debut in Samsung 500. "This engine now the R07 actually started out as R99 because we ran the first time in 1999 called," said Mark Cronquist, chief engine builder for Joe Gibbs Racing. He added, "There was an R03. There was an R05 that never got off of the chalkboard, basically. We had it all designed, but never made. Then there is this one, R07. So really, this R07 has been worked by GM teams since 1998. I have notes in my office from the first time we talked about this engine. It was January 1998. "The process was quite frustrating, but in the end it was worth waiting, and Cronquist said," the awesome thing is that if you look at R09 and R07, they do not even resemble each other, so I’m glad NASCAR never approved . It had some updates, but every time NASCAR does not approve, we went back and worked harder at everything changed things up. "The weekend is expected that six teams will be the new engine. Gibbs Racing will be a R07 position in the cars of Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin and JJ Yeley Hendrick Motorsports’ Casey Mears and Kyle Busch, and Scott Wimmer, driving the fourth Richard Childress Racing entry.General Motors the world’s largest automaker and distributor of Chevrolet exhaust is hoping the engine ready for the upcoming race this season, but unfortunately a few technical difficulties slowed the progress of the project. Cronquist is very excited to get the new engine into competition. He said: "With an engine that we have walked the block a portion of it was actually designed in 1955. We have a few changes, but it would still bolt into a 1955 Chevy Bel Air. The new block has a lot more technique. Are more updated block than what we ever had. "When asked if the new engine delivers more power and torque or is more economical, Cronquist said," It is just across. We’re finally more even with what Dodge and Toyota. The kind of got us back on the same playing field, back in what is considered NASCAR box. We were outside of the box, even under the box. We had disadvantages and they finally let us get the same benefits that other manufacturers had over us. I do not think we really have gotten into much of a part of the show. Much of this is that the store just needs a lot less time to work on the parts and pieces. There’s a lot of things in this block has already been cast in the block that we have used ourselves and to try to fit into our blocks. That took much time and effort to do so. When the show comes, it will be because we’re a lot more time in our shop to work on having.
