“I’m looking forward to going to Dover with RPM. I like Dover, but I haven’t necessarily had the finishes that I’ve wanted there. Every time I felt like I’ve had a good car, something happens like a flat tire, electrical problems or untimely cautions. This weekend, I’m ready to leave there saying, ‘Okay, I like the racetrack, and now I like racing there.’
“Dover is a physically demanding racetrack because the corners are tight and you carry a lot of G-forces there. The sense of speed at Dover is greater than most of the other tracks, and then you add in the elevation changes when you dip to the bottom of the track on the turns. There’s a lot of close racing because the track doesn’t offer a lot of room, and a lot of times that leads to ‘the Big One’, which you don’t typically see at a short track.” RPM PR |
