2009 Q&A
|
|
Q |
Now that you don’t have to worry about the
Chase, does that allow you to try new and
radical set-ups and just go for the wins for the
last ten races?
Rob Quinones,
Bristol, Conn. |
|
A |
It allows us to try and figure out the issues we
have with the cars. We dont have to worry about points as much and can focus on
making our cars run the way they should.

Q |
Hello Drew. Matt’s car was … well, how do you
say, horrible at Richmond. I know you and the
Killer Bees worked hard trying to get it right
for Matt. But what was wrong with the car? Just
curious. Thanks. Good Luck for the remainder of
the season
Kenneth
McDaniel, Clover, S.C. |
|
A |
We wish we knew. All the Roush-Fenway cars
struggled and we are working hard to turn this
thing around and get it figured out.

Q |
What does it take to be a crew chief or spotter?
Griffen Waltmire, Rockford, Ohio |
|
A |
To be a crew chief it takes being in the sport
and seeing and working on cars at the highest
level. Spotters usually are people who have been
around the sport and found a niche on the
spotters stand. Certain drivers work better with
certain spotters.

Q |
When you get your new engine are you going to be
able to shift the weight around a little bit
better?
William Mashburn, Buckatunna,
Miss. |
|
A |
The new engine weighs about the same as the
current so the weight balance will be the same.

|
Q |
We know that Matt has motorcycles and enjoys
riding when he can. Do you ride and if so, what
do you ride? If not, do you have a hobby?
Ellen Fraser, Calgary, Alberta |
|
A |
I do ride a little. I have a Harley-Davidson
Night Rod that I like to cruise around a little.
Most of my spare time is used up chasing around
my 2 young kids.
