Nascar continues it's drive to portray the change to "Green!" Carl Edwards remembers his training too. --Ed.
Cars that can't be fixed after a crash in a Sprint Cup Series race can't be handed down to the Nationwide or ARCA Re/Max Series like an old pair of blue jeans. The car's unique design makes it good for only one thing: the recycling heap.
So cars that once raced at nearly 200 mph are destined to become barbecue grills, garbage cans or a passenger door on a new compact once they've been retired.
The wider, taller design means they can't be changed into different cars for other series. Sports bars, museums and marketing companies can take some of the older cars. Recycling companies get the rest.... http://www.jacksonville.com/sports/racing/2009-06-11/story/go_green_has_new_meaning_in_nascar
