10 Oct NASCAR Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas, Nevada

MagCanica continued its test drive with the NASCAR Cup Series, this time at the South Point 400 hosted at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In support of NASCAR’s continuing efforts to advance its adoption of new racing technology, MagCanica-instrumented torque-sensing axle shafts ran on a selected vehicle throughout the whole race weekend, including during the race. Ihab Mogannam (Mechanical Design & Application Engineer) and Alex Yeh (Electrical Hardware Engineer) assisted NASCAR staff with torque sensor implementation and gathered data in support of MagCanica’s ongoing development efforts, to optimize torquemeter performance for the specific NASCAR use-case which poses its own specific challenges and requirements.
