Plate size reduced for Daytona

NASCAR officials have issued further changes to the size of the restrictor plate teams will run during Thursday's Gatorade Duel qualifying races for the Daytona 500. Following the Budweiser Shootout, where cars race in two-car tandems for almost the entire event, NASCAR issued new restrictions to the cooling system on Sprint Cup cars, reducing the maximum size of the front-grille opening and introducing a pressure release valve for radiators

Mateschitz: Driver rivalry will continue

Red Bull chief Dietrich Mateschitz fully expects Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber to lock horns again in 2011 in their battle for world championship glory. The pair endured a sometimes troubled relationship throughout last year - which included an on-track collision in Turkey and accusations of in-team favouritism ? but cleared the air with a post-season talk in Abu Dhabi.

Richard Childress Teams, Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines Honor Dale

Filed under: , , ,

The Richard Childress Racing teams and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines will pay tribute to the late seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt throughout Daytona Speedweeks.

All of the Richard Childress Racing cars, transporters and pit boxes will have No. 3 decals. Team members will wear a special RCR No. 3 hat on February 18, which marks 10 years since Earnhardt -- driver of the No. 3 Goodwrench Chevy -- was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500.

Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines employees will wear a special ECR No. 3 hat for the duration of NASCAR Speedweeks, which begins with Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout 75-lap exhibition race and concludes with the Feb. 20 season-opening Daytona 500.

Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines is a joint venture launched in 2007 by Richard Childress Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc., the race team started by Earnhardt and his wife, Teresa, in 1980.

"All of us at RCR and ECR are honored to pay tribute to Dale on this 10th anniversary," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing and Earnhardt-Childress Racing Engines. "His legacy is still felt every day at RCR, ECR and throughout the world. We hope all of Dale's fans appreciate this salute to their hero and ours."

A tribute No. 3 decal has been on the No.. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick ever since Earnhardt's tragic death. The team changed the car number from 3 to 29 out of respect for the legend and it has never been on a car in the Cup series since.

Red Bull open about Webber?s future

Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner says he sees no reason why Mark Webber could not stay at the the team beyond 2011 if he continues to perform as strongly as last year. The Australian renewed his contract with the Milton Keynes-based squad just for one year, meaning he will be free at the end of the current season. Horner has made it clear that Webber will not approach the year thinking this is his final season with Red Bull, and insisted they will talk about the future as the year develops

Vettel hopes Kubica will rally again

World champion Sebastian Vettel hopes Robert Kubica will continue to go rallying as a sideline once he is fit enough to return to Formula 1 - despite the Pole suffering severe injuries in a rally crash last weekend. Kubica required lengthy surgery to save his right hand and also sustained multiple fractures in his right arm and leg when an accident in a rally in Italy last Sunday left his Skoda Fabia impaled on a crash barrier. Vettel said he was pleased that the news about Kubica's recovery had been encouraging so far
