...course, crew chiefs will still be tinkering like mad with suspensions, sway bars and other mechanical issues that can give them that small edge. In fact, they may be more necessary than ever. The new car has a redesigned fuel bladder that will carry four to five fewer gallons of gasoline, which will add to the number of pit stops and complicate the chess game of refueling and tire changes that crew chiefs in every race have to play...

Spina bifida, or the failure of spinal cord closure, is a more common result of NTDs than anencephaly, according to Suarez. “Among those who survive childhood [spina bifida], a majority are affected by hydrocephalus, paralysis, and lack of bowel and bladder control,” Missmer said. But causes of NTDs remain unclear. “In 1971, Dr. Brian McMahon reported an outbreak of NTDs that occurred in the 1930s in New England that has still not been explained,” Missmer said.
