However, the race was a SNOOZEFEST, IMO. Dover usually is a snoozefest and this race was no different.jon_464https://www.blogger.com/profile/11134872784295839356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-53984091934373091252011-05-18T11:13:54.966-07:002011-05-18T11:13:54.966-07:00take Kenseth for Loudon as well...up until the Cha...take Kenseth for Loudon as well...up until the Chase race last year, that track had never produced one that actually kept you awake to watch.tezgm99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930207231098783208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-69368073949945398412011-05-17T07:42:45.861-07:002011-05-17T07:42:45.861-07:00Dwindy...

It would have to be harder, which makes it slower... and safer.<br />They do use one team (they vary) from each manufacturer to test drive thousands of laps at each track with a new compound before they take that new tire there for an actual race.<br /><br />NASCAR needs Rousch to win for all the Ford fans. I'd rather see the Petty Fords get some wins.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-11170356337791227172011-05-16T18:21:58.981-07:002011-05-16T18:21:58.981-07:00Okay Gene...

I know they justify racing tires (that's tyres, tez) by using what they learn to upgrade their street car tire designs and materials, but it seems like nobody has a clue what to expect... A one mile concrete track with variable weather and consequently temperatures during the three NASCAR events led to a lot of head scratching. <br /><br />One thing that seems to have come from all this experimentation: The tires actually are holding up better than they used to. At least that's how it appears based on the last two races. Sure, stickers are better, but worn tires don't seem to be all that bad over the short haul. I'm sure there's a lot of thinking going on about this in the HMS camp right now...<br /><br />Jack Roush and his boys are on a roll... Will it last?<br /><br />Thanks Gene!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.com
