Johnson on the COT test at talladega:
I can say though the thing that I've done on other tracks, because I haven't raced one here, but on short tracks, if you use the bumper too much, the way that the front bumpers have the struts attached to them that hook to the splitter, if you hit someone too hard t will pull the splitter up and actually change the shape of it and create lift in the car, which would be a big problem.

let me see now.... front end lift, at 200mph at Talladega. If I'm not mistaken, planes that weigh less than a Cup car can get off the ground at slower speeds.....The roof flaps might come in handy, although the car could still be going forward as it leaves the ground. Yeah, I agree Jim, that could be a problem. I wonder if they are going to tell the air traffic controlers in the region that there may be some UFOs on their radar screens that day.
