Tires

[Elwood]

The tires the trucks used tonight are the same ones being used for Busch and Winston Cup this weekend.  I don't know if anyone else saw it, but Crawford kept the same left side tires for all 200 laps and finished 5th.  That sounds pretty good to me.  The 5 cup guys who ran tonight already have some better tire info than the rest of the field, and Harvick will get some more tomorrow.

They last a long time, but did anyone see the burnout.  Sprague actually caught them on fire and there were flames on his fender as he drove to victory lane.

If I am not mistaken Richmond is a good tire track but 200 laps seems real real good for tires.

That was probably the best burnout I have seen yet other than Dale Sr. at The Big D when he finally got it
