Doug Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Starting to remind me of Indy 2008 when the tires would only last 8 to 12 laps and blow by lap 15. Worked that race. I hope good year brought enough tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since cup runs a different tire now Goodyear does not bring as many tires. Champion which is the transportation company for Nascar takes all the used tires and rims back to Goodyear where they are dismounted and new tires for the next race are mounted and Champion brings them back to the track. The teams do no transporting of their tires. That's why they showed the shot of the Goodyear guys changing tires at the track for the extra set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I didn't have to mount and haul tires all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally watch dirt track daily and got caught up on the tire doping and O'Neal leaving the house car. Mike Mullen is going to concentrate on late model this year with his car owner sold the stock car and the mod is for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't fair much better. I dumped Berry for Blaney last minute so 5th, 16th, 22nd. Busch looked real good at the start.

I like how everyone rips the tire testing labs apart when the drivers are failing, but the thousands and thousands of samples that pass, then they are fine with them.

He was very good friends with Barney Oldfield. Just saw an interesting show on the Lincoln Highway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Little Hitler is pulling his crap already. Was supposed to go to Cota to learn the new software. Flights were booked to leave Thursday afternoon and come home Monday. Texted me yes Texted me Wednesday morning that I don't need to go and he'll do the training online. Texted him back for confirmation but received no response. Sunoco travel arranged the flights and motel so not a big deal as far as I know. The text exchange will be saved if I'm questioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The cars we race have never been safer, yet we sometimes have a long ways to go. Dallon Murty took a cage hit to the fence, followed by another cage hit from another car. Was cut out and stayed the night, but is ok. If you don't know who Dallon is, he really should be on a fast track to race NASCAR if he wants to. One of the most talented drivers in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
