He just isn't the proven talent of Larson True. Larson has the talent and was making good positive headlines running the dirt when he was suspended. He even ran some of the tracks up in my area during that time. If Noah was running up front and making a positive impact for his team and sponsors he would have had a better chance. Don't think he'll recover from this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a combination of Josh Berry and Jimmy johnson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our crew is working the race but haven't heard anything so nothing interesting is happening so far. I worked that race the year they had all the tire issues and that sucked.

They had a group call with the crew chiefs (my boss) a week or so ago without little hitler being on. They were asked what could be done to help him be a more effective leader. I guess nobody through him under the bus but they did put him on the curb at the bus stop. A number of people have quit and they were looking for reasons. He doesn't go to all the races but he will be in Kansas which is my last race for the year. We'll see what happens or if things changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Parking the Nascar haulers. At the larger tracks the hauler will have a designated area on the grounds to park. The haulers are washed by a company using a portable wash unit mounted on a trailer. The teams are then called in based on car owner points to be parked. At smaller tracks the teams are told of a designated large parking lot to meet up in and also a time that they need to be parked. The haulers are washed by a company using a portable wash unit mounted on a trailer. The teams are then lined up in order of owner points where they will escorted to the track in a hauler parade. Neat because you see a lot people that will line the roads to watch the haulers go by. The haulers use to line up by drivers point but then teams were split up couldn't park together. Two years ago they changed that to owner points so the teams could be parked next to each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddick is on the front row in one of their cars. He only had 20 minutes to practice before qualifying. As long as he can stay out of trouble I think he will learn the car pretty fast and should be competitive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd RCR car was fast yesterday but will be starting from the back in a backup car. If he can stay out of trouble I think he will work his way to the front. Not only does he come from Supercars like SVG, he has spent several years in the states running Nascar late models so he probably has a good understanding of how to communicate with his crew Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
