MCREYNOLDS: COT IS HERE TODAY, SO GET USED TO IT — After seven years of research, planning and testing, the Car of Tomorrow debuts this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. While most teams embrace NASCAR's adjustment, some do not welcome the change. Current FOX Sports analyst and former crew chief Larry McReynolds feels that teams need to understand COT because it's here to stay. "Crew chiefs have to accept it and figure out how to make it work because other teams will figure it out. As an analyst, I've got to realize that it's not going away so why condemn it? I want to learn as much as I can so I can educate fans about why NASCAR did it." McReynolds added, "We probably won't have all of the answers after Bristol, Martinsville, Phoenix or Richmond. It will take several races." Coverage begins live on FOX Sunday, March 25 at 1:30 PM ET.
