What the driver is saying after New Hampshire tire test

This week, three drivers representing each manufacturers in NASCAR participated in a Goodyer tire test in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

NHMS holds additional importance this year as it returns to the playoffs for the first time after the 2016 season. ‘Magic Mile’ will open a round of 12 this year.

In tire test, Christopher Bell was in number 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Ross chastean In number 1 Trackhouse racing team Chevrolet, and reign chain champion Joy logano In number 22 Team pension Ford.

Bel, a two -time winner in NHMS, said, “Well, I definitely like to be in the playoffs, of course,” said the twice winner Bell in NHMS. “I like this racetrack very much. It’s statistically, I think I have the best track on the schedule, and in the later year, keeping it in the playoffs is really, I mean, it’s good for me, so I am all for it. Let’s crown a champion here.”

Chastain did not enjoy the same success in Loudon as Bell, finishing eighth in his career.

“Yes, it is large (to test at NHMS),” said Chastain, who won Coca Cola 600 earlier this year. “I mean, I met my crew head for 2021 cup series season and told him before the season that New Hampshire was my worst track. I was one of my biggest accidents, which was with a pop right -front tire long ago in the Xfinity series, and I never believed with any car.

“I went here, and he said he was about to recover, and he did, and we have done the top-10-6 once or twice, but never in a dispute for a win, so it was lucky and happy to attract this test for our team to get two days for Chevy Camp and I could get to work on the car. Capturing all the data for all engineers.

Logano has a special history in New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the site of his first win in the Cup series in 2009. It is also closer to a domestic track in the cup series, as it is from Middaltown, Connecticut.

“Coming here for a race weekend, I like it,” Logano said. “I always say that I feel like Dale Junior. When I come here, it’s about the only track that I do not get, and it is great. It’s great to look out of very red and yellow. You know, you see some of these pictures of a stuffed house.

“So, as you can imagine, there are really special memories for me here, whether it is sitting in the grandstand, starting his first race, winning its first race, it all happened here in Loudon. I don’t think there are some other main memories of at least motorsport compared to all the people coming here to come here for New Hampshare.”
