On the other hand maybe the cars so tight he's on the verge of being out of control, either way he hauls ass.
Hope that helped, haha!

we look loose because were hauling ass, not because the cars loose. Under any other drivers control the cars are perfectly setup, and then we run on the ragged edge just above control, that is the one thing I often have to show beginning drivers is that they need to push the car harder and brake harder, if your not willing to go there every time you will not be fast, this weekend was a perfect example my car Jane developed a REALLY bad shake above 130mph on the roval at Michigan International (ungodly vibration and extremely loose) coming off the front straight onto the infield after inspecting everything in the pits all we could guess was I lost a driveshaft weight so I was slow because I wouldn't push it above 130 so I wouldn't damage the trans and toss the shaft, you see your maker at 140mph down shifting off the banked front straight and the car slides about 30 feet sideways into the infield and bottoms out at 85mph on the transition as you set up for the infield, yep that's on every lap with Nascar barriers, fencing, water barrels, and tire walls just feet away.....very cool...our cars aren't loose we just push them to be there
