Front Row to 2 cars? Kvapil returns in 2011:

  • from an interview with driver Travis Kvapil:
    Kvapil: For next year, we’re going to up our goals. It looks like we’ll have some better equipment and a better gameplan for next year. We probably won’t have three teams. I’m not 100% sure on that, but it looks like we’ll be able to focus our attention on two cars, two teams, and that should make us better.
    Q) How much of a difference will a two-car shift make?
    Kvapil: That’s part of what I’m talking about [that] I don’t think people understand. Going from Texas to Phoenix after the race, we have to pull ballast, lead, out of these cars for our Phoenix cars. We just don’t have enough stuff. We have to pull sway bar arms, springs ‘” we just don’t have the components to really be prepared. Hopefully downsizing would be able to help that. We’ve got three cars on the track right now. We downsize to two, that frees up a lot of equipment and components to where it’d be easier to be better prepared.(Frontstretch)(11-11-2010)
