Rice At Florence

[OGRichardsFan]

I fully believe they catered every bit of that trackwork to Josh Rices driving style because he is the Florence sweetheart and it’s the only track he’s a great driver at. They watered the top of that track and rolled it in and left a perfect cushion but didn’t touch the bottom at all for some of these other guys. As good as the bottom was in every heat, instead of giving it some moisture they rolled it during track prep and ruined it and made the top good for they favorite driver.

Can't the other drivers that are supposed to be professionals adapt their driving styles and set-ups to match these conditions ?

Rice/Florence fast becoming my favorite 2 word saying. That race was fun to watch. Top 8 or 9 were really mixing it up.

Hahaha, this is some top level crying right here. Way to go, Josh!

I call it how I see it, this kid runs Florence for a living. Why soak the top and roll the bottom during track prep? A good track has multiple lanes, that track had one single lane and it for sure wasn’t anywhere besides against the cushion. Imagine that.

I think I have heard it all now! What a stupid prospective! I guess they were also catering to Jason Jamison as well since he finished 4th?
These 2 have a ton of laps on this track and it definitely showed tonight!

They did the same thing last year. Rice doesn't even come close to winning on the heat race conditions. He's not a guy that wins races on the finesse line.

You do it for 1 of 2 reasons. To help the local guy or for the fans that like a dominant top where guys have to throw sliders. A lot of folks think that's good racing.

Did Tony Stewart make Eldora rough on purpose with new clay because the guy that won there liked it ? LOL

Don’t get me wrong the kid is good on his track, just like Shepp at Jax, the year Pearson won it was racy all over, the last two years have been one laned around the cushion, can’t convince me it’s just a coincidence that their local guy is a pedal masher who has more laps around it then anyone in the country, just sucks to see when a touring series comes to town.

Did you even read what you typed?

[Kryptonite17]

Yeah those heats were very entertaining… not. Is Josh donating back some of the winnings or something? Is this why they “catered” to him? Lol. This is hilarious.

Not like all the drivers hated it and they cut it all off right? Lol bad comparison

Does the local kid winning 2 years in a row not make for the best story? They could have made the top good without taking all the moisture from the bottom.
