Casey Mears Quotes:
“Running the Busch race on Saturday will give us a better indication of what to expect on Sunday with the tires and track conditions. Sunday is a long race and with the new track surface, it is hard to gauge what kind of impact the temperature changes will have on the track and the handling of the cars.”
