In the NASCAR chase race today the winner, car #78, Martin Truex, furniture ROW, the car failed the post race lazer test for the left rear wheel alignment by 10 thousandths of an inch.
A very small infraction by any standard unless you are a nano-technologist. At any rate, it failed but what does that mean? Why do they do that test and what advantage is gained by being what - misaligned?

A lot more going on back there than just two tires pushing the car. Testing with wheel force transducers and playback on a K&C machine shows it all.
RE: nascar
Being penalized for a post-race rear wheel toe measurement being .010" outside the regulation limit might seem a bit excessive. But every NASCAR team knows what the regulations are, and NASCAR has developed an inspection process that gives very precise and consistent results. What seems to be the case with Truex is that his mechanics tried to give him every advantage possible and did not allow quite enough margin in the suspension setup.
