SATURDAY, JUNE 28 DAY 2
The #28 Bombardier Business Aircraft Grainger entry driven by Mark Dismore was repaired Friday after his accident and was on pit road for the start of practice this morning. The #5 Treadway Racing-WavePhore Sprint PCS entry driven by Arie Luyendyk was repaired after his Friday accident and was towed to pit road at 9:15 a.m.
The PDM Racing Team has had a unique challenge over the past few weeks. The team has had to modify the cockpit of the #18 Klipsch Overhead Door V-Line Earl's Performance Dallara/Aurora from John Paul Jr. (6-4, 185) to Tyce Carlson (6-2, 220) to Billy Boat (5-7, 140). "From John to Tyce, we had to pour a different seat," said crew chief John Pearson. "The pedals were about the same. We may have had to move them up a little (because even though there's two inches difference in height, they have roughly the same leg length). From Tyce to Billy, we had to change the entire pedal box. On Thursday, we moved him up as far as we could with the original pedal box. That wasn't enough, so we had to move him up some more yesterday with the other pedal box. All in all, it was probably 2 1/2-3 inches difference from Tyce to Billy." Boat is using a spare seat that belongs to Scott Sharp (5-8, 155). "We went from the tallest to the largest to the smallest," said PDM crewman Buddy Urbanski.
