I'm basically just making up reasons, so if anyone knows the real reason why a lot of race cars (NASCAR) are white under the hood please fill me in.

I just spoke with the powers that be at one particular race shop and asked why they use that color, here is what they told me... and I quote...
"We've used that color since the beginning of our inception. Why, I don't know. It's a PPG color called "Chassis Gray". We've used it when we raced at a previous shop and just carried it over when we started this deal. Maybe the car owner wanted it?? Don't really know..."
So there you have it in a nut shell... why do they use it? 'Cause they just always have.
