Re: Driver wanted !
 

When you're trying to tiptoe 3500 lbs through a flat corner, you better bring a tire that resembles house brick....but then we would hear them complaining about that. I just find it hard to understand why a series as big as NASCAR is, doesn't do their OWN tire testing, & then go to the manufacturer(s) with the specs.

This isn't the first time..... Back when it was just Ford and Chebby, they were always playing with spoiler/air dam heights depending on who was winning more.

I just thought about my comments eariler and I do have a question.

Its NASCAR that tells Goodyear what tire to bring to the race track isn't it?

So is NASCAR to blame, or Goodyear, or both?

Did I hear him wrong?

They apparently are blaming it on the diamond grinding of the track? I guess its Tony Georges fault. They also said that once some rubber is laid down the problem will go away.

Nope....that's what the clown said.

I will admit to watching NASCAR racing (I hope that revelation doesn't get me barred from this message board :wink) when they don't conflict with a sprint or midget event. I gotta keep up with the fortunes of my boys Clauson, Wise, Gordon, Kahne, Bliss, Newman.....well, you get the picture. And I can even tolerate (barely) Larry Mac, Hammond, Rusty, Boogity Boogity, and some of the others. But, try as I might, I can't get through ten minutes of Kenny Wallace and Jimmy Spencer's drivel. I kinda feel sorry for the third guy there on the set. Just my opinion, but anyone who enjoys that combo is far more starved for NASCAR coverage than am I. :thumbsdown:
