July 20, 2001Staying power: Brett Bodine, who set the NASCAR Winston Cup track record as a second-day Brickyard 400 qualifier last year at 181.072 mph, thinks it will hold up.
"It's really hard to tell," Bodine said July 17. "As we know, the history here at the Speedway is about weather, about conditions. If the conditions are right, maybe people can get down to that record again.
"Goodyear's got us on a different tire, a different type tire. It's much taller, and it doesn't seem to be generating the grip that we had in the past. So I question if anybody can go that fast."
