I had a scare in Round 2 of Joliet this year.Won the round,went to the scales,they said I was 5 pounds light.This was one of the first times that I ran at a minimum weight of 4075.

I pulled off of the scales and then pulled on again and was right on.

I didn't mean to be that close,but when you are pitted almost 2 miles away,it was easy to underestimate how much gas I used up on the last pass.

This was Not a heads up.

Why on earth the cars were not weighed in the final at Indy is beyond me.

In fact,I was reluctant to even respond to the issue.Did this REALLY happen,or just a story that is on the internet?

Because,as we all know,if it is on the internet,it has to be true.
