  1. Being told that there is a max time limit to arrive at the infield care center for testing. Cory was at a sponsor event when he was notified and did not make it to the test in the time frame. A “refusal” to test is treated the same as a failed test. Official update from the Roper team should be coming soon.
  2. Drove by Longhorn Speedway this weekend. I learned to drive there. Dad had me driving my mom’s ‘85 Volvo station wagon and was supposed to do the figure 8 and treat the “X” as a four way stop sign.... did that a couple times and just started making laps around the oval until was told that’s enough. Sad to see it this way too.
  3. Here is a list of drivers I have come up with so far that have raced a car for Raymond's team on Asphalt. Some raced several races and others one or two. Originally I was going to attempt to put together both dirt and asphalt along with wins for each driver, but I quickly noticed that was next to impossible... Even the wins on asphalt alone is a very large amount. I know I personally won (10) for Raymond and JC won (12). Jake Kruger had (5) wins. Seeley, Hausler, and Luza had several as well. No clue on wins for Chris Davidson, John Heil, or Howard Willis, but those numbers will be way up there for sure. Feel free to tell me who I am missing, or if you want to add comments on win totals too. What an honor to have known Raymond, but also to be lucky enough to be on this list of drivers. Raymond's Drivers (Asphalt) Aramendia, Joe Bendele, Brandon Berryman, Brandon Burton, Denny Crofford, Michael Davidson, Christopher Davidson, Greg Hausler, Zak Heil, John Hogan, Christopher James, Colt Kruger, Jake Lancaster, Garrett Luza, Ryan Marshall, Jason Merrell, Matt Michael, TJ Schild, Jerry Seeley, Brent Self, Austin Wayne Starr, David Swenson, Chris Umscheid, David Umscheid, JC Umscheid, Michael Watson, Gary White, Paul Willis, Howard

  9. I agree every Nascar team’s shocks being used today have progressively become several times more aggressive than in the past and that it has a high probability of being the cause. I’m just also saying they might have just missed it on their guesstimating of what the track was gonna do. Maybe they were anticipating the track loosening up over the course of the race so wanted the nose planted at the beginning. They then would be lowering the back of the car while adjusting which would raise the nose. Minimizing that would be a necessity for sure. Also, the traditional way of loosening the car would still lower the LF nose as you raise the RR and lower the LR which adds weight to the LF. Anotger thought has to do with aero adjustments which we don’t have to worry AS MUCH about while averages 90-95 at tracks like Kyle or HMP. I know for a fact they raise both rears to loosen the car overall but get the spoiler in the air a little more so the entry stability stays relatively close. Just some thoughts. I am also glad they are actually cracking down on this as they already allow a tolerance (yellow) which every team immediately could care less about the green zone anymore. If you roll through and in the green everywhere, someone is getting a talking to about why they aren’t winning...
  10. Might not be the shocks fault though. Maybe the shock/spring combo was designed to be right at tolerance but didn’t factor in enough leeway for the chassis changes throughout the race. Let’s say the crew chief decides to put 2 turns of “wedge” in the RR on the first stop, a turn in both rears on the second stop, and another half turn in the right rear on the last stop. At the end of the race the RR is 2-1/2 turns higher and the LR is a turn higher. Never touched the front heights on pit stops but what happens to the nose heights? The nose is past the front pivot points and you raised the back of your “flat line” of the ride heights. The front of the flat line will go down. If you start the race with zero tolerance room to spare, you run this risk over the course of a race with multiple adjustments.

  12. That truck was a “new generation” truck for GMS. That is why no $ or suspension penalties. They probably should’ve just brought that one as the backup or dropped a new gen truck off at the R&D center before bringing it to the track. Nothing deemed illegal yet but as a precaution, it wasn’t allowed on the track until looked at thoroughly.
  13. I’m not telling my name either...childish
  14. budman you were right about it being a sister track but it was a sister to michigan not talledega. Also didnt have enough seating for big name series if the crowd did show
