Although the use of the carburettor has been part of the NASCAR DNA since the series' inception, the governing body is looking at incorporating fuel injection into its regulations.
"We are in the process of the development and the testing, and we have been for probably six or eight months," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR's vice president of competition. "The easy part is to just build the fuel injection system. The thing that we need to put in play is how we are going to regulate it and what's going to be fair for everybody.
"However, there have been teams that have gone off and they do have track time already on their early production or early prototype fuel injection system. So our goal is to shoot for 2011. I think that's pretty aggressive but we are pushing hard and that is what we are shooting for."
