Pit Strategy a bit Different when Going Right and Left

I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Charlie likes to call me an "idiot". I'm not an "idiot"; I just prefer not to let the facts get in the way of my opinions.

Tony Eury Jr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr. got caught on the wrong pit sequence to be able to win on the road course at Watkins Glen.

Road course racing is something the NASCAR boys only do a couple of times a year and it usually leads to some sort of weirdness. A week ago the Nationwide Series ran in the rain in Montreal and that led to some interesting stuff.

This week the road course at The Glen may have proven to be too much for some crew chiefs to figure out. While race winner Kyle Busch’s chief Steve Addington had the “backwards sequencing” figured out, others who sit atop the pit boxes were not so savvy.

That leads us to this weeks BUZZ ON PIT ROW:

Did Tony Eury Jr. blow the race for Dale Jr.?

Let us know what you think about this and we could use your response on this weeks ON PIT ROW.

[...] Eury Jr may have cost Earnhardt a win last weekend at Watkins Glen. That decision is actually Steve’s Buzz on Pit Row topic this week. We’ll be kicking that to death ON PIT ROW along with these Fast Lap [...]

Tony Jr. tries to play caution flags too often, pure and simple!
