Dillon and that #3 car dominated; I thought he was over-driving the car toward the end (just a slick track, I guess) and was afraid he was going to wreck.

I believe K.B. racing gets their engines from Gibbs. I also believe that their Sprint Cup cars switched from Gibbs to Toyota last year. Yup, here’s a link to a week old article for the Toyota TRD engines and the concerns that Waltrip & Gibbs have:

I was going to take a chance and run Michael Waltrip this week as my “C” driver but with the engine issues and Michael+slick track=disaster I think I’ll be safe then sorry. Looks like the hottest temp race of the year is in store for today’s race.

I hope the high temps don’t ruin the Whiskey... It was even hot and muggy here on the Vast Bender estate with the thermometer reaching a high of 72 and relative humidity of 88%

Thanks for the link.

I’ve attended a number of Indycar races @ Ky.
It’s bloody hot on a sunny day even if the air temp is 80.
The stands are built into a south facing hillside covered with concrete that acts like a heat sink.

Today in Indy (not too far away) is hot, humid, unstable air so we may see big thunderstorms this afternoon.
