GAME OVER? TOLIVER RACING IS NOW ONE CAR
TEAM
Toliver
Racing, with the support of the World Wrestling Federation Entertainment,
Inc., announced that it would park the second car, driven by rookie
driver Tony Bartone, for the remainder of the 2001 season effective
immediately. Jerry Toliver will remain in the driver's seat of the primary
car and Dale Armstrong will continue his duties as crew chief for Toliver
Racing.
"It was a difficult decision to make, however we feel it will allow
us to direct our focus on the performance of the primary car," stated
Toliver. "I support and believe in Dale Armstrong 100% as the Crew Chief
for this team. My trust and confidence in his abilities have never wavered
and I am certain he will see this team through these changes."
"It has been my pleasure working with Bob Brooks as a crew chief and
Tony Bartone. Both have done a tremendous job and if and when we return
to a two-car format, Brooks and Bartone will be my first choice for
the second team," added Toliver."
CANNON GOES 331+ AT NORWALK
Scotty Cannon is no stranger to record setting speeds and neither is
his crew chief Wes Cerney, so it would not be surprising if the "Nitro
'Mater" set a speed record. Having said that the Agent is still a little
surprised that Cannon was able to run 331 at a "Chicago Style" eight
car race at Norwalk Raceway Park. We'll let you readers and others more
informed wonder about how Cannon could pick up 80-mph on the back half
of the track when most fuel cars generally pick up around 55-65 mph,
according to the fuel racers Agent 1320 talked to.
They didn't believe it when Karamesines went 200 at Alton, Ill 40-plus
years ago, but most now acknowledge that he did -- so why couldn't Scotty
go 331.Here are the numbers:
60-ft --.909
330-ft --2.34
660-ft -- 3.345/253.32
1000-ft -- 4.175
1/4 mile -- 4.882/331.20
