The Chrome Horn, episode 51: Hendrick Motorsports’ Jeff Andrews (plus a fabulous Quaker State contest!)

Here's one for you tech-heads: a long sit-down with Jeff Andrews, Hendrick Motorsports' director of engine operations. Brought to you by Quaker State (keep reading! you could win swag!), this conversation involves discussion about how he goes about setting up Hendrick's engines, what tweaks he'd love to institute, the best "cheats" in NASCAR history (none of which are in play now, of course), and why certain teams' engines all seem to fail at once.

Hendrick and Quaker State work together closely, as you can see at Quaker State's website right here, and now they're bringing you the chance to win this sweet Quaker State jacket pictured there at left. Here's how you win: for next weekend's Richmond race, pick the total finishing number of all four Hendrick cars. So if they finish 1-2-3-4, you would answer "10." Tiebreaker: pick the finishing places, in order, of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin. Closest to the actual number wins the jacket!
