Maybe Bowyer has leaked a few Childress secrets already. What kind of modification can they do to a windshield?

Whatever they did wasn't working. MRW had to know that the windshields wouldn't pass muster if the template didn't fit on their cars properly.

the way they explained it on qualifying was normally the top of the windshield has a lip where it meets the roof or what not, so they shaved it down to be smooth which would clearly give an aero advantage

I guess that explains it pretty much. Nice try anyway on their part.
