    You got that right. I've worked with a few that couldn't tell me anything about what the car was doing, they just either liked it or they didn't.

    And, unfortunately you better have a good understanding of roll steer and bar lengths and the effects of any change made. So you either better be dang lucky on set up or have a really good unstanding of what those changes do. Let's not forget about shocks and tires. The guys that are good are really good for a reason. I think the difference between a top 5 car and top 15 car today is minimal . A few turns the wrong way and I don't think it matters who is driving anymore.

    To be a consistently good crew chief, that skill is a must. Not all drivers are analytical.

    Want to adjust rollsteer independent of hike? Change bar angle or length.

    It probably isn't Babb. He'd actually have to actually race to get votes in the DoD top 25 poll if he was leaving Rocket.

    Could it be they are coming out of another shop called rumley since he was helping them out in Florida?

    Culp himself mentioned that he was getting XR1s. That's not really a rumor.
