DO THE NEW TIRES FEEL ANYTHING LIKE BEING ON THE OLD BIAS PLY TIRES?
“Again, I don’t really see any difference in these tires. We go to Daytona and everybody was under the impression the tires were a whole lot different. Everybody was fighting a push there, us included. And I guess they really didn’t change the tire there. They changed the number, but I don’t think the tire itself really changed that much. The aero balance of the cars had shifted quite a bit because of the NASCAR rules. But come to find out Goodyear sort of got a bad rap about the tires being different when in fact they weren’t. It was the spoiler change that everybody was feeling, the new aero package rules they were feeling, not the tire. So I don’t know that the tire is a big issue. I haven’t seen it yet.” WHICH TRACK IS HARDER ON TIRES, ROCKINGHAM [NORTH CAROLINA SPEEDWAY] OR DARLINGTON [RACEWAY]? “They are both about equal.” WHAT TYPE OF CHASSIS ARE YOU GUYS USING? “The Roush chassis. We did have a Laughlin chassis at Daytona.” WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL COME INTO PLAY MOST AT DARLINGT
