What a great move - it was just awful!

Over at foxsports.com, former champion crew chief Barry Dodson provided “instant analysis” of yesterday’s NASCAR race. While it was nearly as sleep-inducing as the race itself likely was, I did find humor in one bit of Dodsonwisdom.

Because the race was rained out on Sunday (depriving me of my Sunday afternoon nap), there was concern about tire wear, as the rain washed away all of the rubber laid down during practice, qualifying, the Busch race and the truck race. There was talk of a “competition caution” coming out around lap 30 to check tire wear. But a caution came out around lap 13, prompting this from Dodson:

They're glad to see that. This is going to be the best read that they get for tire read (sic) all day, with it being a given that it's only going to get better.

(Emphasis added.)

But then, just a few paragraphs later, when a caution came out at lap 42, Dodson states:

You're going to see everybody on pit road. Everybody will take advantage and get four tires. At just 15 laps, you're just kidding yourself if you think you've got a good read on the tires.

Brandon confused!
