Kyle: Hey Steve. She's a little hotter than she's been all year. We may need to put a layer of insulation around it before we run it again. Steve: 10-4. Kyle: Live and learn. Live and learn. Steve: I would say that stuff would make you tough, but I know that would just **bleep** you off. Marty: They're on pit road. Marty: 5 away. Marty: Pace car's in Turn 3. Pit Stop: (Lap 213) 4 tires, fuel. **Note:** Kyle is in Pit# 27. Behind the #17. Ahead of the #40. Steve: We're okay, man. There's only 24 cars on the lead lap and we're the last car on the lead lap. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Marty: Hey bud, it's going to be a couple more laps if you want to do anything else. Steve: Yeah, 10-4. Like I said if that don't pull you down, KP, we're the last car on the lead lap, man. We'll come back in, we'll give you what you got to have, now. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Steve: KP, there's a hose that are going to the ignition boxes. I don't know if you can reach it or not, but if you can pull it over there to you it might not blow that layer of air on your lap. Kyle: No, no. I'm fine. I'm fine, man. I'd rather the ignition boxes be cool right now. I don't want them to start cutting out, man. Steve: 10-4, man. 10-4. Kyle: We're okay. We just...the feet up under. We just didn't put enough insulation up under the thing. Trans fired up through it a little bit. Kyle: It had a life before we electricuted the seat there at the shop the other day. Steve: **laughs** I gotcha, 10-4. Kyle: What happened to John's car? What happened to John's car? Steve: Hold on just a minute. I'm not sure. Robin: I'll get with you in a second. Looks like a rod out the bottom. Kyle: Yeah, better question what it was. Looks like gear lube. Looks like gear lube or a transmission. That's what I'm looking at on the race track. Robin: Knocked a hole out of the block...engine. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Kyle: What temperature did they run during the race? What temperature did they run just so I know. Robin: Hang on. I'll get with you. Marty: Okay, it will be 1 to go when you get back around. Kyle: Okay. Here's the deal, Steve. Everything we've done so far has made it tighter in the middle, but not helped it, ummm, helped it a little up off, but it's hard to tell because you're stopping in the middle of the corner so everything's helping it up off right now. Heat just fell back in it, but it's still rolling free into the center. Steve: 10-4. Like I said the only other thing I know to do if that wedge don't help it and we can keep working air pressure and can raise that track bar. So just think about it. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Marty: Alright, man, let's get the belts good and tight and get ready to go. ?????: There are a lot of lap cars so got to have a good eye here. Marty: Pace car in. Kyle: What's wrong with the #24? Marty: Turn 4. Green, green, green. Restart Lap 223 Kyle: (Lap 232) It's a lot better right now. A lot better. Steve: 10-4. Marty: Blowing up in front of you. Back it down. Back it down. All kinds of oil. Marty: Still green. Caution is out. Caution is out. Marty: You need to back her down. Need to back her down. Caution Lap 253: #24 loses the power steering line and left tires down. Kyle: Try to scream "caution" when the caution comes out. Steve: Okay you said the car's a little better. What do we need to do to it to make it..**interference**? Do we need to raise that track bar? Kyle: Sorry about that, my ear plug's come undone. My ear plug's come undone. Kyle: We're back here at the back. It wasn't bad. Raise it just a touch. Raise it about a 1/4 of an inch and somebody jump in here and tape, let's pit 2 & 2, but somebody jump in here and tape my earplugs back in so they don't come out. Steve: 10-4. Kyle: Pull out the RF fender. I got all over Stacy getting into Turn 1 that lap whenever something happened to the #24. Steve: Can you hear me now? Kyle: Yeah. I got you. I got you. Raise the track bar a 1/4 round, or a 1/4", raise the track bar a 1/4" and get somebody to dive in the right side and just put a piece of tape on the ear plugs, 10-4? Steve: 10-4. Marty: Okay, pit road is open. Kyle: Keep the gas man back on this deal and somebody hand him a piece of tape. Somebody just go in and put the tape in. Steve: Track bar up 2 on the right side. Track bar up 2. Marty: On pit road. Marty: Pit right in front of the 40. Marty: 5 away in front of the 40. Pit Stop (Lap 255) Right side tires, tape the ear plugs 8.94 seconds. Marty: Outside, outside. The #15, outside. Marty: Yeah, get up in front of that #12, Kyle. He's smoking pretty bad. Kyle: Alright is the RF pulled out? Steve: 10-4, the RF's good. It's not rubbing. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Kyle: Alright, here we come and get left sides, right? Steve: 10-4. We're going to come in and get left sides. Be careful on pit road because there's some oil and stuff down pit road now. Kyle: Where's the pace car? Marty: Start/Finish. Marty: On pit road. Here he comes. Marty: Okay, be 3 stalls in front of the #11. 3 stalls in front of the #11. Pit Stop (Lap 257) Left side tires, fuel. 7.66 seconds. **Note:** #12 finally blew up. Had been smoking for quite awhile. Marty: Pit road is closed. Pit road is closed. Marty: Kyle did you not hear me last time when I said the caution was out or was it because your ear plugs fell out? Kyle: Ear plugs fell out. Not your fault, Marty. Not your fault. Marty: Alright man, 10-4. Just checking. Kyle: What temperature was John running? Did anybody ever find out what temperature the #43 car was running? Robin: 210, 210. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. We're running about 195, running about 195. Turning about 9000, about 9000. All temperatures been running about 130-135. Robin: Yeah, 10-4. The #43 car were in good shape. I think they broke a rod or something. Kyle: Yeah. 10-4, 10-4. I was just checking to see if water temperature or anything had something to do with it. Robin: 10-4. Kyle: I got an idea with these ear plugs. We need to move the plug into the center of the helmet. Get it off the side. Like we had it a few times last year. The way this place sways your head around it's rubbing on it so we just need to move all the plugs around to the front. Steve: Yeah, 10-4. Marty: Okay, next time by they're going to bring you down pit road. The whole field. Kyle: I was just getting ready to say, "They need to either sweep pit road or bring us down pit road" because it's going to be slick if you've got to make a green flag stop. Marty: Okay pit road is open. Marty: 1 to go when you go back around. 1 to go. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Who do I line up behind? #14 up there? Kyle: Is the #88 car on the lead lap? Robin: 10-4, the #88's on the lead lap. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Robin: #14, #88, #45. Marty: Pace car in. Marty: Green, green, green. Restart Lap 268 Kyle: Where's the #33, or #36? Where's he at? Kyle: **a little aggravated** WHERE's THE #36 CAR AT? Marty: #36 car is on pit road. Flat tire. Clear all around. Marty: Caution's out. Turn 4. Car up top, clear on the bottom. Clear on the bottom. Caution Lap 325: #36 stopped in Turn 4. Steve: Did the track bar and air pressure seem to help it? Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. It's not bad. It's not terrible right now. It's pretty decent. Steve: 10-4. Let's go ahead and get caught up the best we can. If those guys in front of you pit, which I think they will, we'll come down with them. If they don't, **interference** we haven't run, but, 60 laps. Kyle: Do what, now? Steve: I said, "Go ahead and get caught up. Those guys in front of you, the leaders, we're going to come in with them. If they don't we're going to stay out. We haven't run, but 60 laps." Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. Give me 2 ice packs, 2 ice packs. Marty: Pit road's closed. Marty: Remember when you come down pit road, if you do, it might be slick down there so...... Marty: Pit road's open. Marty: All the leaders are pitting. All the leaders are pitting. Steve: 10-4. Here we come. 4 tires guys. Marty: He's on pit road. It's the #99, the #23, then us. #99, #23, then us. Marty: Pit right in front of the #40, behind the #17.

Marty: Okay, man, Let's get the belts tight. Get ready to go. Marty: Pace car in. Marty: Middle of 3 and 4. Get ready. Get ready. Green, green, green. Restart Lap 331 Kyle: Get the #1 out of the way. Marty: Hey, see if you can talk to them from over there. Their spotter is at the other end of the roof here. Steve: 10-4. **Note:** (Lap 345) Kyle hit the #1 out of the way coming out of Turn 2. Lost 2 spots to the #99, #15. Marty: Slow car on the bottom. The black #90. Smoking. Kyle: He's putting oil on the race track. He's putting oil on the race track. Marty: 10-4 on the oil. Kyle: Isn't any on the race track, but on the windshield Marty: Spin in 2. Clear on the bottom. Caution is out. Clear on the bottom. Caution Lap 366: #02 spins in Turn 2. Steve: Okay, man, as soon as you get caught up we're going to have to stop for 4 tires. You've got a fender rubbing pretty bad on the LF. We're going to have to stop. Kyle: 10-4, that's fine. That's fine, man. Steve: Like I said, just go ahead and get caught up the best you can. I'm thinking about putting that Set #14 on. You know we talked about it. It's got a mixed up set of codes, but it might be alright. What do you think? Kyle: Yeah that's alright. How many laps are....is that all we got left mixed up codes? Steve: We're going to have 136 laps left, but like I said that's Set stamped #14, you know, that set we scuffed in? Kyle: Yeah, man they were good, though, even though they were all mixed up I hate to use them with 130 to go because there's been a caution every 50 or 60. Steve: Okay, 10-4. Let's just go ahead and come on in and we'll just put you 4 tires on and we'll leave that scuffed set 'til last. Kyle: Yeah, 10-4. 10-4. Give me something to drink and something to poor on myself. Steve: 10-4. Like I said, stay caught up the best you can. I know it's tough the way the guys are doing, but stay caught up. Marty: Just so you know the RR quarter panel is bowed out behind the RR wheel, but it doesn't look like it's rubbing anything. Pit road is open. Kyle: How many cars on the lead lap are behind us? Marty: 3. Marty: On pit road. See the #15, the #10, then us. #15, #10, then us. Marty: Steve, take it in front of the #40. Marty: Pace cars's just halfway down the back. Pit Stop (Lap 368) 4 tires, fuel. 14.28 seconds. Kyle: Good stop, man. Good stop. Steve: 10-4. Marty: Hey, looking from up here that looks like the best you've been all day. Kyle: Yeah, 10-4. 10-4. Trying to stay off the brakes. The brakes were getting a little soft right there. Kyle: Get everything pulled out? Steve: 10-4. The LF's out real good now so you shouldn't have any problems. Marty: It will be 1 to go when you get back around. Marty: Okay man, let's get the belts good and tight. Let's get ready to go. Kyle: I thought the #1 car was a lap down. That's my fault, man. I thought he was a lap down. That's my fault. Marty: Pace car's in the middle of 3 and 4. Marty: Turn 4. Get ready. Green, green, green. Restart Lap 373 Marty: Spin in Turn 4. Still green. Caution is out. Clear on the bottom when you get to Turn 4. Caution Lap 405: #41 spins in Turn 4. #32 hits the #41. Steve: How's the chassis now? Kyle: It's okay. It's okay. It's still just a touch tight in the middle. A touch tight in the middle. 10-4? Steve: 10-4. I don't think you'll see any of the leaders come down pit road. *interference* Like I said, let him know what the leaders are doing, Marty, and if they pit, we'll pit with them. If they don't, stay out. Marty: 10-4. Robin: How many cars are behind you on the lead lap, Steve, because if they stay out you might want to come put some fresh tires on it with less than 100 to go. Steve: Yeah, you're probably right, Robin. Looks like there's only 4 behind us. Kyle: Alright, if there's 4 behind us let's just pit. Steve: 10-4 and like I said there's only going to be about 90 laps left to go. What do you think about putting that set we talked about on there? Kyle: Yeah, 10-4. That's fine. Why don't you switch to that other radio. Switch to that other radio. Steve: Can you hear me now? Kyle: 10-4. I got you. So let's go ahead and stop, put 4 tires on it. We'll put that last set on. We'll try to make that our last stop of the day. Steve: 10-4, 10-4. Marty: Pit road's open. Everybody's pitting. Everybody's pitting. Marty: Ok guys. You'll see #15, the #23, then us. The #15, #23, then us. Marty: 10 away. In front of the 40 #again. 5 away. Pit Stop (Lap 407) 4 tires, fuel. 16.59 seconds. Marty: You know a couple of them that came out ahead of you took 2. Steve: 10-4. Kyle: Robin, you got a copy? Robin: 10-4. Kyle: Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. I figured that be everybody's last time because the way everybody's talking, you know, once they get within 100, it's going to make that their last one. Robin: Yeah, 10-4. Kyle: Are we the last car on the lead lap? Steve: Come back on that. The what car? Kyle: Are we the last car on the lead lap? Steve: 10-4, 10-4. Kyle: Alright, I'm going to come down pit road. Give me an ice pack. Steve: 10-4. Marty: Okay, we're on 1 to go when we get back to the stripe. Kyle: Nevermind. Nevermind. Marty: Yeah, the #2 car will be the last car on the lead lap. He's going to be coming up behind you, the #2 car. Marty: Alright man, let's get the belts good and tight. Let's get ready to go. Kyle: 10-4, 10-4. #2 car have trouble or what? Marty: Yeah, fender damage when he came out of the pits there. Looks like he got it fixed. Alright, Turn 4. Let's get ready. Get ready. Green, green, green.

Did that adjustment help your chassis a litte bit? Kyle: Yeah, 10-4. 10-4. We're as good as we're going to be right here. You know, we just kind of got to wait for these guys to kind of come to us a little bit and get as many as we can. Steve: 10-4. We're 18th right now. You're doing a good job, man. Like I said before let's just stay out. Steve: By the time this thing goes green there will be somewhere like 50, 51 laps left. Kyle: Yeah, 10-4. 10-4. Marty: With about 4 cautions to go. Robin: Hey Steve, you there? Steve: 10-4, Robin, go ahead. Robin: When this thing gets doubled up in the traffic and when he gets racing, just let him know and let Marty know who's lap traffic so you can get the lap cars out of the way. That way he isn't wasting his time trying to race those guys who are a lap down, okay? Just keep him informed. Steve: 10-4. The way it looks right now when this thing goes green, the #2 car will be in front of us, #22 will be ahead of him and the #20 car will be behind him, 10-4? Robin: Yeah, 10-4. 10-4. Steve: Marty, do you have any kind of monitor up there? Marty: Having which way? You mean a scoring monitor pole? Steve: No, I just meant a monitor that we look at so that you could tell him who he's racing with. Marty: Nah. The only thing we got is the leader board here which is 5 positions. Steve: 10-4. I'll do it. Like I said I just don't want to walk on you, but I'll do it. Marty: That'll be fine. Marty: Okay, we're on 1 to go. Marty: Okay, man, let's the get belts good and tight. Let's get ready to go. Marty: Middle of 3 and 4. Marty: Turn 4. Green, green, green. Restart Lap 450 Kyle: Is the #21 laps down? Tell him to get out of the way. Kyle: Okay, look. Marty you got to help me, man. You got to help me. Marty: I hear you, man, but he's at the other end of the building. Marty: Looking inside, inside. Kyle: Inside my **bleep**.

Kyle: Looks like the #2 and the #10's coming. Steve: 10-4. That will put us behind the #23 car. Kyle: 10-4. The #55 just blew a hose or something off it. It's throwing water all over the race track in 3 and 4. Putting water all over the race track. Marty: Hey, tell a NASCAR official down there it's the #55 car because they're trying to figure out who it is who is laying that water down. Kyle: It's the #55. If you look at his hood it blew out between the hood. He's not..he's thrown the radiator back into it. Steve: 10-4, 10-4.
