    Tire "Cheating" and DQ's

    I seen where 2 NeSmith winners were DQ'd because their tires did not meet "benchmarks".

    I just personally find it hard to believe that tire doping still goes on when they know they are going to test them. Maybe I am wrong. Seems really odd to me that these guys are so vocal to their innocence, similar to the Dream racers a couple years ago.

    I also find it odd that in a sport where you can 'cheat up' bodies and such but these series spend big money to send samples to actual labs that test tires?

    What made the tires not hit the benchmark? Show some transparency to everyone so we can better trust the system. What exactly was found in the tires?

    Speaking of benchmarks, why do I as a fan have to pay top dollar to get into a track and then go pee in a port a john? Shouldn't those tracks be held to 'benchmarks' if the driver's tires are going to be held to 'benchmarks'? Asking for a friend!

    I was looking for an article about something different last night for some info and came across one from March. Mark Whitener and Jeff Mathews were caught failed tire tests at Bubba Raceway park. It carries a 30 day suspension a fine and what else but it also said he had also previously been or is currently suspended indefinitely for the altercation incident. Guess I was confused.

      It may be time to revive the 10 Worst Toilets list.

                  No way that’s SS. Doesn’t have a dirt stained 39/49 tee shirt on. Have to get up pretty early to fool ole centeroff. His drivers cheat tires but not SS and his scooter. No way! He won the Haterade 100 and all 4 tires met benchmark spec

                    I just realized 2 things...1) SS has a headful of white hair, and 2) even though I expected it, he has a male "partner"!

                              I think it's exciting finding out who won the race two weeks after the checkered flag has fallen.......don't you?

                              I wouldn't change a darn thing on the tire rule, it's flawless and makes perfect sense for open motor cars.......did I mention it's super exciting going to the event , watching the checkered flag wave over the guy that finished first and then have a lab tell us who the real winner was a couple weeks later.

                              I get giddy just thinking about it.....smmfh
                              Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
