NASCAR confiscates two cars

BRISTOL, TENNESSEE - NASCAR has confiscated cars driven by Jamie McMurray and Larry Foyt, and Foyt will miss this weekend&#39;s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.<br> <br> A NASCAR spokesman says the cars will be held indefinitely and taken to NASCAR&#39;s research and development facility in North Carolina for study. Problems were found in McMurray&#39;s Number-42 Dodge and Foyt&#39;s Number-14 Dodge during the preliminary inspection for this weekend&#39;s race. McMurray&#39;s car had too large a back window, and Foyt&#39;s roof did not meet specifications.<br> <br> McMurray has a backup car, which has never been on track. Foyt&#39;s backup car is set up for superspeedways and could not be used on the half-mile Bristol oval, so he has to withdraw from this weekend&#39;s events.
