Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I saw that and was a little nervous for sure!! Gonna be a sore dude tomorrow!!

I'll have to ask my buddy why the went thru TWO engines in eliminations! Oh, and a car!! He had worked on the team for several years now, car chief (NOT crew chief) or something like that. Antron is a really great guy, the real deal!
