Q

During the Phoenix race the announcers mentioned that some drivers names for their cars. Do you have any names for your race cars? Thanks and good luck for the rest of the season!
Brad Visintin, Springfield, Ill.

A No I don’t. I have been at Roush a long time and have gone through a lot of cars! I would be out of names by now!
   

Q I attended the race in Phoenix and noticed that you ran a different line than most of the other drivers. What goes into determining which line you drive?
Jean Ann Clemons, Grants, N.M.
A Good question. It’s mainly how your car is handling and where you feel like, and your laptimes show, you are the fastest. You spend some time in the race searching around for what feels good and runs fast. I hope you had a great time at the race!
    

Q

In your opinion is there any alternative to the front splitter? I keep seeing how it cuts up tires. It seems to me some unnamed drivers use it as a tool. Thanks and have a good clean FUN racing season.
Dale Davison, Buckley, Mich.

A mmmm, maybe I should get some tips so I can learn how to do that! I don’t think with this particular body style there is a good alternative for the splitter. It doesn’t seem to be a big problem, although I have seen it cut a tire or two.
   

Q Matt, do all the Sprint Cup cars have the same body and the only difference is the emblem in front?
Larry Heyer, Manchester, Iowa
A The templates are the same on all makes. Really the only difference is the nose and character lines on the hood, and then decals.
   

Q Do you own a cheesehead?
Leesa Hill, Louisville, Ky.
A

I do not own a cheesehead, but I have worn one a time or two!
