Related, and already eluded to...

Years ago if they used a mechanical fan, many Winston Cup teams used a inexpensive stock four-blade Ford fan. This four-inch Ford fan, originally built for truck years ago, was proven to be the most efficient and economical mechanical fan on the market. Many teams used it for short-track. The type of track often determined type of fan, for the super speedway most preferred to use electric fans because of the horsepower and fuel-efficiency advantages. Same today on many street cars.

Side note- I think the article meant to suggest 4-inch blades. But not sure.
