PAT SUHY, CHEVROLET RACING NASCAR GROUP MANAGER, ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW RULES CHANGES IN THE NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES:

HOW DID THE NEW TWEAKS TO THE RULES PACKAGE COME ABOUT?
“I really think it started in discussions between the teams and NASCAR about where the teams are spending their resources; and wondering if this is really an area they want to race in? NASCAR knows that over time, teams have gained aero performance, whether it’s increased downforce or reduced drag, as they spend more and more time in the Wind Tunnel and as they have worked on the tires to have more grip and more give-up. Gaining back more of the downforce they lost by whatever means, jeopardizes all the work that has been done and fans could see racing return to what it was like last year. I think as a problem to solve it was the question of, ‘Well, where are you guys gaining downforce? How come the cars have all this skew in them?’ Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Charlotte–Pat Suhy →

ARE YOU GETTING ANTSY TO GET OUT THERE AND DO IT? “Excited to get out there; this is always the hardest week because you just talk about what you hope to do and how the race may play out. I just can’t wait to get gloves and helmet on Sunday and get in that car and hopefully have the speed to have a shot at the victory. For most of us, the most comfortable time is when we get into the car.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Scott Dixon →

HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER QUALIFYING? “I feel I’m going into the race with the best shot I’ve got. I feel really good about things and it would be great to bring another Indy 500 title to Nazareth. It hasn’t been done since ’69. It would be a pretty big deal for that little town.

SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS, NO. 11 TEAM HYDROXYCUT CHEVROLET, KVSH RACING (qualified 19th):

IT’S BEEN SAID THAT CARS WITH DOME SKIDS ARE A LITTLE HARDER TO HANDLE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT AND HAVE YOU HAD THOSE ISSUES? “It’s not designed to make the cars easier or worse to drive. They are there to keep the cars from flying so I am not sure why we are talking about it. But to be quite honest it pisses me off because that has been the lead-up to the event and the greatest race that we have had in 100 years. It’s a shame. It’s sad. To me it’s who gives a damn about the dome skids. They don’t even need to know about it. The car is the way it is, we are going to put on a great show, and that is all people need to know about it. Honestly I am pissed at the media in general for making a mess of it and for some drivers to make such a big deal about it.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Sebastien Bourdais →

BUDDY LAZIER, NO. 4 LAZIER/BURNS RACING CHEVROLET, LAZIER/BURNS RACING (qualified 32nd; 1996 Indy 500 winner):

TALK ABOUT YOUR HISTORY HERE. “Two times we’ve had the race won and we had a little issue. In 2000 with Juan (Montoya) we were fast and we were quicker than he was. We had our car a little better on raceday, and we were getting killed every time we went in for fuel. We took fuel twice as many times as he did. We just missed that year – strategy and otherwise. We very easily could have won it. A couple of years later, we had the race won and our last set of tires we had no stagger. So these second-place finishes haunt you. When you win a race, you put it on a shelf. And this is such a special race to win. There have been probably four or five other times where we were a hair away from winning.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Media Day →
