Thanks Bill...I just wish they were right rear tire options, just like almost every other series...have a soft tire, medium, and/or a harder compound for use. If we would have been running 2 weeks ago at LPS, I am sure we would have put on the hardest right rear tire we have available. The only problem is,,,after June 2nd, we won't have that option. I have one of the new tires and it is considerably narrower than the HT2. With it not being as wide, the weight should be more concentrated on the tire patch, which is gonna cause more heat and more wear, hence a higher tire bill even when track conditions are average/good. I really think the Indiana promoters should either try to help us teams out on track prep to keep the track from grinding tires too early in the night or allow teams to use a harder compound option so the tires will last a little longer.

Good racing can happen on any track dry or wet, and I think it is obvious LPS has had some fantastic racing this year under a variety of track conditions.
