I'm not really gearing ordsprog

I'm not really gearing up to close up the house and battening down the hatches for the cold, but I am contemplating putting snow tires on both my cars.

I enjoy the cleaning up - something about the getting of things in order for winter - making the garden secure - a battening down of hatches perhaps . . . It just feels right.

I don't try to use them that much but when you enter a corner too fast they can be a help. The problem is that a driver can't rely on them. If temperatures aren't cold enough to freeze the snow properly, instead of bouncing off the banks, cars can be dragged into the snow or plough through them and off the road.

Everybody said it wasn't going to snow, and I kept telling everybody, 'Hey, I think it's going to snow'. Winter's not over yet. Everybody's like, 'Oh! Take my studded tires off!' And I'm like, 'I wouldn't take studded tires off quite yet,' and here it is.

I'm telling you right now, there were five cars out here and most of them had two flat tires. It was nuts. These people were all coming in here and calling for wreckers and going back out in the rain to change their tires. And there were more people on the side of the road with flat tires.

It's a lot of work to do. We have to adapt the cars to the tires to make sure we have the best tires for the car. It's an important step.

People really appreciate fresh new snow, and since it?s been cold the snow has been dry. The word has gotten around that the snow is good.

I don't know if that is quite the same. Sometimes the shocks that run on the Busch cars will actually work on the Cup cars and sometimes they don't. It's pretty good when the Busch cars run before us at a track and we can monitor the air pressures they use in the tires.

We moved in the winter, so it was really bad. It was really depressing for me. It was really cold, and every day it was snowing. Joe went to school, and I had to stay in the house all the time, watching the snow.

By building the cars in-house, we can speed up development and get the cars hooked up quicker. We can convert stock cars to ST race cars in approximately two months. Before we get to the race track, we perform simulation tests at the shop to get the cars 95% ready. It's more efficient and allows us to create the right package.

I am really disappointed. We had an awesome car all day. I felt like I ran the most patient race I have ever run at Bristol. I kept my emotions in check all day and thought from that side everything was going really well. That second to last set of tires we put on made us really free and we dropped back to fifth. Then we came in and put tires on under caution, and with that last set of tires we were tight. I couldn't turn it through the center (of the corner) at all. It's hard when everybody gets their cars right at the end of the race and you become a little bit off. It was hard to hold those guys back. So we just tried to race smart there and bring our car home in one piece.

We were very lucky with the cold temperatures in December. We made snow until we couldn't make snow anymore.

What's the hardest part is the intensity. We had snow coming out two to three inches an hour. As fast as we can plow, the wind is putting the snow right back on the roads. [Monday's] conditions will depend on how much wind we get. Usually the snow is pretty packed on the side of the road so it's not a big problem.

Cold in the earth - and the deep snow piled above thee, / Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave!

They move up in elevation until reaching that special number - 32 degrees. But to get snow this low, cold air has to already be in place, and you can't get cold air over the ocean.
