Warner rectangular racetrack its own unique most racetracks we -- a -- Chicago land speedway. Are like. Kansas or Lowe's Motor Speedway Atlanta most tracks you have to entrances to the corner. You have to middles of the corner and you have to Texas of the number eighty in -- racetrack columnist racetrack. Has four corners actually four straight laced you have or inferences -- or middle of the corners and you have four X. And there's not. -- So you obviously have to have good handling you have to have a good handling chance. Aerodynamics play a huge growth. When you think about the speeds that you're actually here on that long frustration back straightaway. Obviously we know that strategy very possibly will play a role in the outcome of this quarter mile race. Indian evasions. If it takes every aspect of -- yeah -- good fuel mileage we certainly know detecting them and play just like strategy. You got to. How good torque to -- you all those words is this it almost too short straightaway and between term wanting to in three and four. But you also have you gotta have good top -- the period ESP gambles long straightaway so there's almost not. -- And -- played a role in being successful in Indianapolis Motor Speedway in I think to me and Andy go to be feeling they're you have to have every one. Even for weeks but columns this PG material into the corners they can even be a big deal it -- two and a half mile racetrack. You know one year ago the big story in actually still been a huge story here in 2009. Was -- complete disaster but it Goodyear's tire that they broke there to race. We can.

They've taken roughly 31 different teams there's this in all of the testing they then there insolvent testing. Over thirteen thousand miles. Testing and until the last group tested here few weeks ago included when he fourteen Jeff Gordon's statement are. I know they walked away and Jeff Gordon should now he's wonderful work France. I feel really good. It this year all we're going to have to worry about.

In last year I'm not sure we learned a whole lot because of despite in the tire situation. Certainly you would think it it means it ran well pocono like Tony Stewart course he's won Indianapolis Motor Speedway twice. You'd think he's certainly the London and he he could use some of his broken -- But I think we go there with a lot of unknowns because this is really the first time and getting that measures days of racing this new car. Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You know you want me -- any -- It doesn't matter it's Martinsville Darlington and Daytona Talladega Indianapolis Motor Speedway but there's no question and speak as a crew -- from eighteen years. That to treks to races you certainly won't will resonate is meaning. Into NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is certain to Daytona 500 which I was fortunate to win twice 92 Davey Allison. In 1990 -- and -- but there's no question. The brickyard 400. In Indianapolis Motor Speedway is certainly one you won't win input on your wrestling and make a lot like the Daytona 500. If you win there it's only -- states would you not only the rest your career risk your life. Came close there the very first race here in 1994. Race that Jeff Gordon when he actually settle -- won the race. We were running first and second all day long back and forth with Jeff Gordon out with 48 car Robert Yates racing and Ernie -- In about anything have to go I think our -- just a little better than Jeff Gordon. And we could hire him right iron into the nationwide that dipping down like. It was our race to lose probably go to the most. Prominent data -- Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Was in 1996. Actually in 1990 the -- third there with dale chair. Draft and at 28 car in the in the next year -- years in the 88 are Ernie Irvin was back in the 28 -- And we ran first and second that they would -- in the race in earlier governments that you know this is -- those races it certainly it's got a trophy. I think it's it's about meeting in Indianapolis Motor Speedway the winner there. We'll take -- and half a million dollars if that this race pace. About a 150000. Dollars to start almost twice as much he's in the race we go to a place this -- deal. For those go or go home gas and we have while I'm on Saturday it's not an impact on scheduled here we have two practices on Saturday or Friday. They quell Saturday morning in the one -- a couple of I don't practices Saturday happening. So we've got the -- sixty entries there so when you think about those eleven -- go homers this is a big deal those gas. And and unfortunately the field just like everywhere else is only 43 cars that means the three cars. -- will miss this 2000. Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You know mention the money. And into the trophy. I mentioned meaning in Indianapolis Motor Speedway that are all things that are very special.
