Success for cars reinforced by TeXtreme® in NASCAR Sprint Cup
The NASCAR Sprint Cup came to an end on November 17 and it has been a great season for cars reinforced by TeXtreme® Spread Tow carbon fiber fabrics. Out of all 36 starts, it has resulted in 33 victories.
The teams competing with cars from the different manufacturers have collected 16 poles, 157 top five positions and 301 top ten positions.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The most prestigious race is the Daytona 500 which was won earlier this year by a car built using TeXtreme®.
The mechanical performance of the woven Spread Tow structure in combination with the more optimal fiber volume fraction enables production of ultra light and high performing advanced composite parts. TeXtreme® can be varied on a number of parameters creating unique opportunities to optimize the reinforcement to the application. TeXtreme® can be delivered as dry fabrics or prepreg, all based on the specific needs.
Current applications for TeXtreme® Spread Tow carbon reinforcements involves bicycles, Americas Cup, Formula 1, Le Mans, ice hockey sticks, golf shafts, industrial, advanced aerospace applications and much more.
