Most of the "fast" guys lately have been running Wonder. Alpha 5238 or 5238t if your a bit short on bite.

Mr Oldsmar. I remember when Joe first started racing. Now he makes fast WR tires. Pretty cool. I know if Joe says they are fast at this track, I would have them in my tire selection.

Test, test, test, and go test some more.
You're never fast enough!!! 💯

Preparation leads to separation.

Success is never owned but rented, and the rent is due every day.

And don't forget Joe's "Dirty Worx" chassis.  He's doing some neat things with those!

Mike will have 30 pairs of them at the raceway during R4 I believe.

But now my advantage from the past few years is available to the public LOL
