It seems there were a few issues with the new car design at Bristol that NASCAR is scrambling to resolve. (Of course, after a year of testing, I'm surprised this is happening.)
Several drivers encountered carbon monoxide issues in their cars, leaving them with side affects like headaches, and what not.
The protective foam in the right side door was overheating, melting and producing toxic fumes.
Some teams had spring failure. (IE: Greg Biffle, and why he is not getting a penalty for the rear quarter panel being too low after the race.)
Hamlin noted that the inside of the car was hotter than the other cars they're presently driving, which confuses me, seeing as how one of the benefits of the new design was purported to be less heat IN the car.
NASCAR will be adjusting their tolerances for different categories and having a meeting with the teams at Martinsville.
