Chris Holbrook's Incredible "Three-Wally Thursday"!...

Wade Mahaffey · 03-18-2014, 10:30 PM

Didn't they win "Best Engineered Car" as well, and wouldn't that make it four Wallys for the weekend....that's got to be a first. I was there on Thursday and would liked to have gone and seen it up close. It must have had some cool stuff inside to get that award. I wonder what makes that 2014 Mustang in Stock or Super/Stock stand out above the rest. "Best Engineered" used to be given to an entry that displayed advanced technology, and/or attention to detail, and with a special consideration to personal fabrication skills and overall project achievement....and most of all....something(s) cool and/or unique, that the tech officials haven't seen before. Is it still like that today?....or is it just big money again.

Wade, since the Jones challenger "The Driller" didn't win at Indy last year (it's first race) I don't think anybody can say what the criteria is for Best Engineering or Best Appearing but politics has to be a factor. That car is a work of art.
