A new front splitter and nose have been approved for Chevrolet and Toyota Sprint Cup cars for next year while Ford and Dodge teams are still working on a few adjustments to the front of their cars. Chevrolet's new front splitter and nose combination was displayed on Tony Stewart's 2011 car that he unveiled Tuesday with his Mobil 1 sponsorship for next year [see images on my #14 Team Schemes page]. The new front splitter for Chevrolet and Toyota is molded to the front of the car instead of held to the front bumper with braces. Dodge and Ford teams are using the opportunity to change the front bumper to give those cars better manufacturer identity and are still in the NASCAR approval process. There will be no change to the hood for Ford and Dodge, just a slight change from the top at the front of the hood halfway down toward the splitter. The Dodge and Ford teams should have plenty of time to get the new noses approved for next season.(SceneDaily)(10-16-2010)
