All right, guys, it is race day for the Toyota owners 400.

Richmond Raceway rolling off at 3.30 Eastern time on FS1.

Going to one of the most worn out short tracks on the circuit it's going to be a wild tire

conservation day the last couple of these things have have went long and green we've had a lot of

green flag runs some guys trisecting some guys bisecting it's a little more of a strategy race than

one might think merriman no seal, Elton Sawyer said today.

They're not applying any sealer or any compound to the racetrack.

So it's sat for a year.

What do you anticipate that?

It's always a hot topic when we go here.

Sealer, no sealer, whatever.

Well, NASCAR's in general trying to get away from traction compound as a whole anywhere we go so i just think back to what year was that when carl edwards

and who was it god bush it was 16 or 17 where the freaking groove got all the way to the fence

during the daytime yeah perfect it was chef's kiss but because you have guys that wrapped the line

you can paint the line because the painted

line actually collects some rubber so you have like a little bit of grip down there.

You'll actually see some guys too.

You can run like a lane up because you're actually looking like it's so freaking slick, man.

You're looking for the painted hash marks because the painted hash marks collect rubber

and they have like you'll slide hit a hat and you can literally feel it grip the tire

because overall the asphalt is just so coarse um i hope that it's so much about the tire of what

goodier brings there and how wide the groove gets,
