LONG POND, Pa. -- When NASCAR announced revisions to the foot box and floorboard areas would be optional for all races except for restrictor-plate events in 2017 until full implementation in 2018, it put teams in the familiar position of trying to determine whether to go with safety or speed.It really is no decision. Kyle Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a crash in 2015 but he knows his team wont make the proposed changes unless they have to.The increased thickness of the firewall with other elements of the redesign will make the cars handle so differently and it would be a competitive disadvantage to run them.I doubt youll see teams implementing them into their cars too early before theyre mandatory, Busch said. It just doesnt make sense to us. Obviously were all competitors and were going to build cars to the capabilities that we know how to make them as fast and as light and everything as possible.If they would implement a rule where you make all of these changes and youre able to run your car 25 pounds light, then we would all do it right away. But adding weight to the cars and then being able to take that weight back out is going to be a challenge for some of these teams so its going to be a bit tricky.This change isnt as simple as changing a suspension piece or a body panel. It is a big enough change that all chassis will need to be recertified by NASCAR.The weight in the firewall added is above the center of gravity -- above the master cylinder -- that it isnt low enough to help performance and forward bite, Team Penske competition director Travis Geisler said.Its a massive rebuild of the car, Geisler said. It definitely is a big departure from how were building them right now.Teams usually build at least some new Daytona and Talladega cars every year, so they can start working on those changes now for next season. Geisler said it might be possible to retrofit current cars but that is debatable.He said there is a 1-inch toeboard foam that is being developed as part of the new designs. Any driver with long legs would not be able to start using the foam before then, but smaller drivers possibly could put that foam in the current car.There are some drivers that can put that in today and never even notice it ... because their feet are so far back, Geisler said.Chevrolets Sprint Cup manager Alba Colon said changes like this take time no matter how quickly everyone would want to implement as soon as possible for safety.When you make a change like this, you need some time to figure out the whole thing, Colon said. You have already put all these [current] vehicles in your computer systems and simulation. You will have to go and change everything again.The one concern likely is the challenge of making the cars so stiff that no energy is absorbed by the car in an accident.Obviously theres some debate as to whether or not stiffening up the cars make them too stiff when we crash and you dont have the opportunity to absorb the crash itself through the car like IndyCars, Busch said.We would all say those cars absorb the crash obviously. I feel like with our advancements in the SAFER Barriers that were trying to make sure that the walls absorb our crashes and the cars stay intact for the drivers so we dont have injuries like we saw with myself or potentially have seen with Austin Dillons [2015 Daytona] crash. wholesale jerseys online .

LOUIS -- St.LONDON -- Follow that, Pep. Jupp Heynckes is leaving Bayern Munich having set the bar for Pep Guardiola as high as the Wembley Stadium arch. In Englands national stadium Saturday, on the penultimate step of Heynckes farewell tour, the coach delivered Bayerns fifth European Cup with a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. That comes after the Bundesliga trophy was already collected in a record-breaking league season, and Heynckes can sign out next Saturday by completing the treble in the German Cup final before stepping down. "FC Bayern will have to prove that they can continue to achieve these things but it is quite possible ... that a new era might have begun under the aegis of Bayern Munich," Heynckes said through a translator. An era of dominance, perhaps, to match the Bayern team that won a hat trick of European Cups between 1974 and 1976. Success in the first all-German Champions League final came a year after the tearful defeat on home soil to Chelsea. On a night of redemption, Arjen Robben, who missed a penalty in extra time in last years game, pounced with the winner in the 89th minute in London. "You dont want the stamp of a loser," Robben said. And it was Heynckes who picked up Bayern from its lowest ebb last May. "We didnt resign ourselves to our fate," Heynckes said. "No, we upped the ante and tried even harder. You have seen the result." Although Bayerns players were overwhelmed for much of the first half, they imposed their authority on their tiring rivals after the break. After Ilkay Gundogans penalty kick cancelled out Mario Mandzukics opener on the hour for Bayern, the energy in Heynckes side proved decisive as Robben ensured the European Cup would be returning to Bavaria for the first time since 2001. "We have been changing things, improving things, adapting things," Heynckes said. "We have team spirit, an ability to work together, which I have never experienced in the championship before, because we have 22, 23 top-class professionals ... all of whom played their weight. "Not one of them fell by the wayside. When you have such high calibre players thats pretty incredible. Thats the hallmark of our success: the ability to work together -- the collective." Heynckes wont be part of it for much longer. He leaves under bblurred circumstances, having distanced himself from the clubs claims that he planned to retire when Guardiolas services were secured in January for next season.dddddddddddd. But on Saturday, Heynckes said he had no regrets about handing over the reins, insisting that he had planned to stay just one more season after the Chelsea setback last May. Guardiola is ending a one-year sabbatical from football after turning Barcelona into the dominant team in Europe. Bayern shattered Barcelonas aura of invincibility, however, beating the Spanish team 7-0 on aggregate in the Champions League semifinals. And Heynckes sent out the message to Guardiola that everything at the club is primed for further success. "My successor will of course be able to take over a perfectly functioning team," Heynckes said. "We know Mario Goetze will be joining us and I dont think (striker Robert) Lewandowski will be hanging about too much either (at Dortmund)." Heynckes pointed to how the investment before the season in several players -- including defenders Dante and Javi Martinez, and striker Mario Mandzukic who all started tonight -- had paid off. "The players have been a bulls-eye success," Heynckes said. The 68-year-old German never mentioned his Spanish successor by name despite repeated questions referring to him after the final. But he was clear in outlining the challenge facing Guardiola at Bayern. "You have to lead a team, a group, and you have to be very sensitive, very tactful with very high-calibre footballers," Heynckes said. "Today with the environment, the media, the expectations, it is incredibly difficult." Saturdays win means Guardiolas first shot at a trophy with Bayern will be the UEFA SuperCup in August against Europa League winner Chelsea -- and a likely chance to renew his rivalry with Jose Mourinho. The outgoing Real Madrid coach is expected to return to Chelsea next month. But whats next for Heynckes? Former Bayern midfielder Michael Ballack thinks Heynckes still has much to offer in football -- and he will be in even greater demand after replicating his 1998 Champions League triumph with Real Madrid. "The Bundesliga is an option or Real Madrid, but it must be a special club otherwise it makes no sense," Ballack said at Wembley.
