They are talking about using the Air-Titan for 'track prep'. They have been taking it to all of the Chase tracks and using it before the cars hit the track simply for cleaning the surface. They are saying that it is causing the tires to wear more and work this new rubber into the surface. Just when you thought you had seen it all, work is already underway on Air Titan II System. They intend on having this new version at every single race next year.
They used it during practice @ Daytona at the beginning of the year. It worked in one pass leaving the track dry behind it. That was pretty good compared to jet dryers. Not sure how wet the track actually was though. I guess we can find out should this thing ever be used on a Sunday.I'm just not buying that it's any better than jet dryers.
That's gotta sting just a little.From Jayski, I had to post this entire thing to make a point, Kenseth gets KyBu's Award?

I posted this because I thought it was cool, not to turn our favorite catchall thread into a Busch bashing thread, So I am going to start a separate thread for it.From Jayski, I had to post this entire thing to make a point, Kenseth gets KyBu's Award? I'll bet that really pisses him off.

1) Toyota - 188, 13 wins
2) Chevy - 188, 10 wins

The last time Chevy didn't win the Manufacturer Championship was in 2002 when Ford won.
