They were just talking about Rubby's car catching far and attributed it to tar "powder"? I'd never heard of it being referred to like that before. Usually rubber chunklets is the form that it usually took, seems to me. They just showed some of this ground-up tar by-products freshly retrieved from the track sweeper. That is wierd. How's come Tony doesn't run in the Nationwide Series hardly at all anymore?

I scored some "free" tickets to Charlotte a few years ago. We were on the bottom row, on the first turn. The track was just low enough that we saw the tops of the cars go by.

By the end of the 600 miler, we had a black coating all over. It took two showers to remove that rubber "grit"...

Next time we went to Charlotte, we were on the fourth turn abut 26 rows up!

Reports have said the surface is very abrasive and they don’t run here very often and don’t test here at all so the tar compound is in essence, grinding off.

Grandsons have collected “marbles”, the normal wear from the tars, from multiple trips to TMS. Wife say we have enough to make a full set now.
