"Performance Corner" tells of the new NASCAR phenomenon of engine "quick changes," allowing crews to get a car back into a race quickly to finish for points and prize money. The story tells of a Winston Cup race in which Darrell Waltrip's blown engine was replaced with a fresh one in only 11 1/2 minutes!

MOTOR'S Annual Racing Issue goes backstage to cover the auto racing scene. "Brickyard Powerplay" looks at the IndyCar powerplants from Chevy, Ford and Buick, and speculates on the possible entry of Japanese engines. The annual "TV Race Schedule" lists the times and channels of all the big events so readers won't miss a race all year. "Race On Sunday, Hell On Monday" tells what it's like to build and rebuild 200-mph stock cars for a living with a visit to Kenny Bernstein's Quaker State/King Racing shop in Charlotte. In a special section called "Why They Race," top corporate officials explain why they spend big bucks to sponsor racing.
