Tares gonna we a concern today?

But the question that emerged in the two afternoon practices was just how long Johnson and the other 42 drivers in Sunday's race can go fast without wearing their tires down to the cords.

Teams were seeing severe wear after just a handful of laps in the first practice, raising concerns about the 400-mile race. They lobbied, without success, to get more sets to get through the practices. Teams were allotted eight set, two more than what's typical for other tracks, to get through qualifying and practice and then nine sets for the race.

Jeff is the winningest driver at Indy. He won the first WINSTON CUP race there. Also, since he hasn’t won a race this year, there is much interest in his fifth place starting position.

Has a wife and daughter changed Jeff’s focus? He doesn’t NEED to win to make money. It’s all about getting into the Chase these days.

Since he has more wins by far than any other driver in Nascar today, his dry spell commands some attention...
