I work for Michelin. And when we get to buy tires on the cheap from the company, they use nitrogen to inflate them. There's also a nitogen station on the company property that we can use to inflate our tires if they run low. A little wired company perk.
WOW! I'm a big fan of Michelin. The absolute best tires I ever had on my 3/4 ton and dually diesels were Michelins (I was putting 80K / yr on those trucks hauling "stuff".) Pricey, but well worth it since I got almost 140K out of the 1st set I ever owned.

Now that I don't have the business write-off any more, I'm back to the cheap (and low mileage) brands.

Re: Ask The Experts ... NASCAR

Who was the owner of the #32 car that Bobby Hamilton JR drove in the Cup series a few years back? I can't remember for the life of me.....

According to Wikipedia:
The inability to find a sponsor for the 2007 season as Tide had already announced that it is leaving the sport, along with the fact that much of the team had already either been laid off or having been hired by Michael Waltrip Racing led to closure of their shop and forming a partnership with MWR's #00 Toyota Camry. PPI Motorsports has been liquidated to various buyers.

Re: Ask The Experts ... NASCAR

I was watching an older race awhile back and 1 of jeff burton's pit crew members came over the wall too soon and they were assesed a 15 second penalty and had to serve the penalty while they were still in the pits.

I was just curious who assesses or calls for a team to be penalized is it the officials on pitroad or is that call made up in the tower?

Re: Ask The Experts ... NASCAR

Request for opinions: From a competition point of view: spec engines...Good or Bad? From an owner's perspective?
