In post-race inspections after Jeff Burton’s victory Saturday night in Roush’s Ford, NASCAR officials carefully cut large chunks out of Burton’s tires and Jeff Gordon’s tires. What might eventually happen to those samples isn’t clear. NASCAR officials say only that they’ll take them back to Daytona for storage, in case any questions arise down the road. The samples won’t be tested as the tires at Loudon, N.H. were, NASCAR executives said, because those test results backed up the validity of NASCAR’s own field testing.(JournalNow)(9-14-98)
