This is only true at tracks such as Daytona and Talladega.Other tracks like Martinsville,Bristol,Rockingham etc.... the brakes are used a great deal.It takes an amazing amount of brake to haul a 3400# car down from 130 mph to 50 twice a lap for 500 laps.
I doubt the teams use 6 piston calipers at Daytona and Talladega to save weight.

Pantera Turbo: The wheels he is talking about are Halibrand replicas made by Team III.
