A big deal was made during the Daytona 500 weekend about the comparative horsepower results from NASCAR’s post Dual 150 dyno tests of Sprint Cup Series cars.
Most of the noise was - depending on which side you listened to - either crowing or complaining about how the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas had up to a 30 hp advantage over the Chevy teams. I never did see any definitive numbers for Dodge or Ford, but the quotes that I did see didn’t deny Toyota’s overall power advantage.
That impressive win at the Auto Club 500 by Roush-Fenway’s Carl Edwards seemed to be argument enough that Jack Roush’s Fusions are plenty strong though.

Oh really, looks like Edwards skirted the rules with his extended fenders at Fontana and then the missing oil lid that helped his car's aero push at Vegas.
Can't match 'em in the hpower, just do some illegal modifications to the car.
