Both have had engine failures that they have traced to a coating they put on camshafts to avoid initial start-up wear. Apparently it is coming off on the lifters causing them to stick, which of course results in valves and pistons having unfriendly contact. I know Dale, Jr was one of them and Michael Waltrip.

All who switched will have to start in the back today only, any changes after the Duels will result in going to the back in 500.

Roger is at the track today. just heard him on the scanner. i'd say with the captain around, there won't be any nonsense today.
