It would not be right for one driver to keep using "the back door" to get a spot in the field. Especially this year. There are going to be several PO'd sponsor's as it is.
Going to be interesting to watch how it all shakes out.
Besides, the boy won't need 'em......
Well, maybe a couple. :)
I was really surprised when I started reading / hearing reports about the track surface. Wondering if that was on purpose or a "doh!"
Several of the truck drivers bitched about some bumpiness between turns 1 and 2, different than what the Cup drivers are saying. Already reading stuff that this was by design, Atlanta, etc. JG was talking about "Humpy bumps", etc.
I think the Biff said it best, "there is so much force going into turn 1 that it is moving the tire sidewall an inch and a half into contact with suspension parts."
If race day is warmish to hot, I wonder how the asphalt will hold up?
And Tony Stewart whines too friggin' much. Which race was it last year, Daytona or Talledaga?, "if they don't stop the bump drafting there will be dead bodies all over the track!"
Ok, that's nice, Tony. Now shut up and drive.
Did you check out that "bumping" in Iraq video? Wild.
Did you read that they fixed the "Dale" bump at TMS?
Of course it's because he's the favorite!! lol TBD still means to benefit Dale. I will say it in case someone pops in here to say it........cause I don't mean it. :)
The Biff has been to the infield care center twice on this new surface out of two times practicing there. The first time he was unconscious and separated his shoulder.
