I have another question, not that I expect an answer. You guys got the same penalty. Have you guys ever admitted guilt, or do you do like a teenager and say everyone else was doing it? Do you deny that you had doped tires? Or were you just being picked on? Reminds me of a guy I used to work with. No matter how many times his kid got in trouble, it was always the schools fault, or it was always the cops fault. Everyone else does it, so they have to be picking on my kid. Always an excuse. All it does is hurt the sport. doesn't help the kid either. As for your driver, I always thought he was good driver. |

Not that some members of the board have *ahem* 'bent' the rules before, but would anyone be willing to explain how a tire gets doped? My gut feeling is one is trying to make it softer. Can one dope a tire to make it harder? I know that running a heat cycle with a slick and then cooling it with water when it is hot is a method.
So, what chemicals are used for this or that? I'd like to know. Thanks.

sure there are those who have, and have been at times. A prominent usac crew chief told and showed me three years ago how to identify a doped tire visually, and what visual evidence was on a tire or removed from a tire to prevent visual detection. Initially skeptical I studied tires for a long time and was able to determine what I had been told was true. Based on that AND many conversations that I will not share with whom, I know who has. I also know who has prepped tires for some names people wouldn’t expect. One other fact I would add is usac does NOT test the top three every night. In regards to the timing of test results the florida results been known for some time now, but only crickets are heard. All anyone wants is a level playing field and a consistent application of the rules, and I am in that camp.

I got pulled over one time, told the cop I was only running with traffic, everyone was speeding. He said maybe, but I pulled over you. He was right, and I paid the fine. I have not seen either of the 2 teams that were penalized last week complaining that everyone else was doing and making accusations about the sanctioning body on social media. If they have, I haven't seen it. I hope they don't it. Just makes things worse for them.

We've heard from one sanctioning body. My guess is we will hear from the other this week as they did run a few days after the other series.
I have to wonder with KO being a 2car team, would one crew be doping and the other not? They are run out of the same stable so to speak. Not accusing, just pointing out that one car of a two car team has been flagged. |
