there was a guy.. I forget who it was now but it was a crew chief from a major team, interviewed a couple of years go. He said that he had been approache dby a manufacturer... 'do you want traction control?' The thing was smaller than a dime and fit soemwhere under the dash. It was totally controlled by a cell phone.. turning it on and off could be done from China if they wanted too.
That crew chief said he turne dthem down flat but that he knows for a fact that teams bought it.

That was a couple of years ago. You can bet your ass that they have gotten smaller and easier to turn on and off too.

Guaranteed, someone is using it. I seriously doubt that Rick Hendrick would allow it. If they were ever found out, that would be the end of them. But I do think that smaller teams are using it. When you see a one-car team, or a part time team qualify or race way above their own talent, thats who is using it.
I have a distinct feeling that someone you like used it. Gilliland in the Nationwide Series. He was the only Nationwide driver to win a race that year. He was immediately given a Cup car and what did he do with it? He got one or two poles and thats it. I think his case is one where TC could have been used that one time.
