Clint Bowyer is 15/1 to win this week at Bristol. |
How do you make your car go fast at Bristol?
“That baby’s got to turn it in the middle, man. It is so hard to get your car freed up enough to turn in the center of the corner, but not be too loose in, and then not smoke the tires up and off the corner. At Bristol, you have to have the total package, a lot like I did in Martinsville.”
GREG ZIPADELLI, SHR’s Vice-President of Competition:
Why the strong start to 2018 for all the SHR Fords?
“Everybody has worked really hard in the offseason, like every other team, but last year we were trying to figure out how to put motors in cars to make it to the racetrack, and that’s not a lie. I mean, it was that bad when we switched over to Ford. It was a lot of things that were a lot harder than we thought they were. This year, as a group, they’ve been able to work together and they’ve been able to work on a lot of little details, and I think it’s shown in the performance to start the year. But we’ve got a long year, so we’ve got to continue to work, continue to stay focused. We can’t take a deep breath or you’ll get passed in this sport.”
What are you most proud of in 2018?
“You know, I’ve been proud of the wins and the success we’ve had, but I’ve been more proud of the performance of all four cars so far this year when you look at them from a qualifying perspective, when you look at it a finishing perspective, when you look at where they are as a group in points, you know, that’s how. I’ll say I judge myself and the rest of us like this: the people at Stewart-Haas must continue to figure out ways to give all four of our teams the best stuff we can, and we’ve got to figure out how to continue to get our guys to work together and continue to make our stuff better.”
