Question
DO THE CARS HAVE A STARTER AND SOLENOID LIKE ON DOMESTIC VEHICLES AND HOW DOES IT WORK?  I NOTICE THAT THEY FLIP TWO TOGGLES WHEN THEY "START THEIR ENGINES", WHAT ARE THE TOGGLES FOR?

Answer
Hi Randy,

I do not know the specifics of the solenoid and engine package. I do know that one of the switches they flip is the starter, and the other is usually labeled "engine." So i do not know the specifics about it, but i hoped i helped with what i can!

I can answer any questions about drivers, cars, crews, teams, shops, championchips and any technical question about the rules and regulations of NASCAR. The only question I might not be able to answer is one that deals with the small parts inside the car that help the car's performance, but the stuff such as the body, engine, and spoiler are easy.
