Also listening to the IMS radio network for IndyCar is just as good as MRN/PRN for NASCAR.

He was the only one using the clutch to shift??The last segment was the race! I was pulling for the Kiwi and he schooled the home teams! He was later on the braking and earlier on the throttle than any other driver. Hope we get to see him on an oval soon.

So on the 5 speed XTrac gearbox they use in the Cup series now, you don't need to use the clutch to up or downshift. Shane was heel-toe shifting because that is what a lot of the Supercar drivers do even though they run a 6 speed version of the XTrac gearbox that Cup uses. They will use the clutch to settle the car into a corner. Obviously this also works on a Cup car, just no-one had ever done it.He was the only one using the clutch to shift??
What do you mean heel toe shifting? They showed his left foot using the clutch.So on the 5 speed XTrac gearbox they use in the Cup series now, you don't need to use the clutch to up or downshift.

The old 4 speed manuals used in Cup, and still used in Xfinity, Craftsman Truck, and ARCA Menards series, don't require the clutch to shift as well due to years and years of development work.
Heel toe is being on the brake with the right foot and tapping the throttle either with your heel or side of the foot to match revs, while the left foot does the clutching.What do you mean heel toe shifting? They showed his left foot using the clutch.
OK I knew that but calling it shifting confused me.Heel toe is being on the brake with the right foot and tapping the throttle either with your heel or side of the foot to match revs, while the left foot does the clutching.
Probably going to start a fire here but I am not happy with NBC broadcasting these races now. I was always a JR fan but he and Burton should not be allowed near a microphone. They butcher the english language so badly, it's had to believe they took english classes in school. They do not have broadcast voices either.
It also seems NBC has more commercials than Fox did. I tuned in to watch a race and commercials broke out.
