I was front and center during the Eldora situation with the 5 guys. I saw the test results from the Lab. I saw the test results from a secondary tester that one of the drivers paid to have done with a sample from the same tire. I can tell you with absolute certainty that none of those 5 guys were doing anything to their tires. If you all knew how the settlement all played out with Scott's lawsuit, and those other 4 drivers it would make your mind explode. It would have really been the end of WRG, and would have cast a huge problem with Eldora and their big events moving forward. As far as these tire tests go, it does not take a scientist to figure out most of these results. When guys get caught "juicing" tires as some say, the results show another substance being present and therefore the benchmark for all of the original ingredients start to show a reduction which should never happen. The problem with these certain results (like Chris Madden's) last year, some ingredients that have minimum benchmarks, were not showing up at all. That means that somehow, an ingredient was completely removed from the tire. I'm sorry but that is 100% impossible. It would jeopardize the integrity of the tire and would be unsafe for use if it was even possible for that to occur. But it is not possible. I have had this conversation with hoosier. Hoosier maintains that they have never faced any scrutiny from the governing bodies or the Series themselves. So that means that no matter what nobody wants to point the finger at hoosier because they put too much money into sponsoring DLM events and they know that they could impact that so it just doesn't happen. The ONLY 2 explanations for these failed tests are: 1) The lab is a complete and utter failure, and or 2) Hoosier has some bad batches of tires. So before anyone on here continues to call any of these guys cheaters, just know that they are not. The only real valid tire failures are those that show 1 or 2 contaminants and a slight reduction in the benchmarks for natural ingredients. That has not been the case for almost all these situations. I took a lot of slack from A-holes like Rigsby for my role in all of this, but he didnt want to report the truth, he wanted to kiss everyones ass, and not be a real journalist. So he literally told his whole team to just report the suspensions info coming directly from WRG. I risked being outlawed by a large group but fortunately for me, I was politely asked to abide by the agreement made with everyone, and things would be fine. I was told the agreement from top to bottom. If I said nothing, there would be no repercussions. I left it at that. So I cannot really explain any further except to make it quite clear that something needs to change because these drivers are taking a hit for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Can't wait to hear the responses to this post. LOL
