“Clearly the tire wear was excessive. It was too much, but even though it was too much, it was a step in the right direction. When you’re pushing the issue, when you’re on the edge of things, sometimes you cross over it. It should be applauded that we got over the edge. Now, understanding how we got to the edge, and then backing it up some, not only for Bristol, but every other short-track race, that’s really what has to happen going forward. And if we can figure that out, it'll certainly have a positive impact on short track racing.” -Jeff Burton #NBCSports #NASCAR #NASCARCupSeries » Subscribe to Motorsports on NBC: null » Get the latest motorsports news on NBC Sports: https://www.nbcsports.com/motors » Watch live races on Peacock: https://peacocktv.smart.link/v82e9dl56 NBC Sports — the home of motorsports — features unparalleled motorsports programming, fueled by the network’s media rights agreements with NASCAR and IndyCar, NBC Sports has motor sports coverage spanning NASCAR, IndyCar, Monster Energy AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross Championship, SuperMotocross World Championship, IMSA, and the Dakar Rally.
