“The body is forgiving, but the suspension is unforgiving, and then it catches on fire. So, trying to avoid that because that is what got us the last Darlington race.. it decided to catch on fire on the right front. Hopefully we can avoid that. But yeah, just knowing that if you hit the wall a little bit you have more room for error than you did with the old car for sure. Bowman said:
Kyle petty needs to just STFU!! Yeah right he will just run that yap more now!!
Kyle got fired by his dad that is how bad of a driver he was. Drivers err go to the booth because they can no longer driver or for Kyle because he could never drive.
