OMG push trucks, OMG leaking cars, OMG a car going a lap down takes out the leaders, OMG clean up crew is so slow. After 26 years people still complain about the same things. No matter what the track has changed over the years, people still complain. The number 1 thing I have learned over 26 years, This race does not care how much money you have or how many races you have won. It takes Luck, Skill, and a team that can over come anything.
I am really sick and tied of hearing about push truck this and push truck that. Next year go to Walmart and buy yourself a $20 pair of binoculars. Look at what is actually going on. You will find out that most of the time there is someone still working on the car when the truck pulls up. 2ND use your fricken head. When 8 cars come in to the same pit lane, there is only 1 truck setting in the middle. If you do not have a prime pit stall, your team better choose wisely when they are going to pit. Team strategy screws far more people than the push trucks do. I love it when 2 cars are pitted right together and the front car finishes first. Everyone is so busy jumping around they forget to push the car forward so the truck can get to it.
I miss Chet Fillips (I can never remember haw to spell his last name) he created solutions. Car fuel to slow, he built the dank to have a duel fueling system. He did not like the push trucks, he built the car so that his team could push start it. He did not have a young top knotch crew he skipped the first pit stop. I was always wondering what would he do next.
