Did anyone see the final practice this afternoon? They showed an in-car angle on Mikey, and when he went into the corners, he could barely keep his head held up, and his body would sink into the seat. I know that going into the corners puts extreme G-force on the driver, but then they showed a split screen with Dale Jr and Michael, and Jr looked solid in his seat. Waltrip looked tired and worn out after a few laps of practice. How can he be competitive like this? 400 miles is a long way when a driver doesn't have the strength to hold himself up. How can a sponsor have any confidence in him?
I don't want this forum to bash him, so please only answer my question if you saw what I'm talking about and have an honest opinion about it. Thanks.
