Just watched a replay of last nights Inside Winston Cup on Speed Channel. In the hot seat was Ron Hornaday along with a substitute panel of Brett Bodine, Frank Stoddard, and Kenny Wallace.
Ron was asked about his role with Bam racing, and filling in as driver in both the Winston and the World 600 (I'll never call it anything else).
He said he went over there to help by giving feedback to the team and assist with the set up. Basically he said that everything Shawna had been telling the team the car was doing wrong, he felt as well. The most telling point he brought up was the terrible aero setup of the car. According to Ron when they took the car to the wind tunnel following the 600 they found it was losing 249 pounds of downforce when it went into yaw. His quote "nobody can drive a car like that"
Two observations: The crew apparently is not listening to Shawna like they should.
And maybe Shawna needs to pitch a hissy fit of her own to help them listen.
