So what do NASCAR drivers do when the stomach starts grumbling in the middle of Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the Sprint Cup year?For Martin Truex Jr., grabbing a granola bar or two normally does the trick."I'll grab one under caution," Truex said. "The hardest part is we do have a head sock in our helmets so it's tricky to get it up under the head sock. You have to put your knee on the wheel to hold it straight. You use one hand to pull the helmet sock up, and then use your other hand to stick the granola bar up in there. It only takes a few seconds."Then Truex adds with a smile, "It's multi-tasking."Truex normally keeps two granola bars in a pouch inside the door."There's a cup holder too for the drink bottle," he said. "We get those every once in a while during a pit stop."Denny Hamlin said simplicity is key.He likes to have an energy bar that has already been torn open, something he can quickly stick in his mouth when...NASCAR on Wednesday revealed five new members added to the roster of 25 nominees for the 2013 NASCAR Hall of Fame.Ray Fox, Anne B.
