Congrats to Brady but It's a shame that Brady does not have a major sponsor on the side of his car. He is by far the best ambassador for USAC. Hopefully some company will see a chance to sponsor a champion team.

Well it ought to say HOOSIER in big letters and with big $$$ behind it since they've possibly screwed him out of a championship. But that's just me.

I don't get the connection, but I'm pretty much out of the loop here in AZ. Can you expand on that a little bit, Charles? On a related subject, what happened to his Fatheadz sponsorship? I noticed that missing from his car at Eastern Storm.

Fatheadz is still on the car and the relationship continues. Rico Elmore is a huge supporter of auto racing on many levels. I feel privileged to call him a friend.

Thanks Gene, Because I honestly don't know. I did know Fatheadz still helps.

Hoosier has had issues with tires delaminating at a few races this year. Id say Knoxville was most notable

Grandview about ten laps in
Williams Grove. Also about ten laps in.

What's the point in a reversible tire if it won't last one race. Yeah, some may be the tracks, But grandview sure wasn't.

Thanks, Mc/rider. I thought that might be what Charles was hinting at, but I wonder why the rest of the teams aren't having the same problems with those tires, at least as consistently. With 25 races still to go on the schedule, we're a long way from crowning a champion.

How did they screw him? Aren't all of the teams running the same tire. How did they do something to just him? You seem a little obsessed with your hatred of Hoosier. Did someone beat you with a Hoosier tire when you were a kid?
If Brady would have blown an engine would you be saying that whoever manufactured the failed part screwed him? Brady is going to be just fine. He is a good racer, and as consistent as anyone.
