Restrictor plate racing and this two-car draft is really tough and I was in the middle of a bunch of incidents. I feel bad for wrecking a bunch of cars, especially my teammate Brad (Keselowski). We got shuffled out to finish 18th. I ran with the 20 (Joey Logano), 36 (Dave Blaney) and then the 14 (Tony Stewart) at the end and just got separated a bit and shuffled back. “My car was really fast all day pushing. Once I had to push, the car didn’t seem as stable as I needed it to be. Frustrating. We ran up front most of the day and didn’t get the finish I think that we deserved.” WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BLANEY SPIN? “Same thing. Bump-drafting and guys get sideways.” IS THAT THE WAY THAT THESE (RESTRICTOR PLATE) RACES ARE GOING TO BE? “Yep, until we fix it.” ROBBY GORDON (No. 7 Fast Five / SPEED Energy Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 20th “We were a better pusher than leader. We needed another Dodge to run with at the end of the day. With Brad (Keselowski) going out early, that was one less Dodge and I could never get to Kurt (Busch). A top-20 for the Fast Five Dodge, it was a decent run for us and we’ll take it, but it’s not really where we wanted to be.” BRAD KESELOWSKI (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 33rd WHAT HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE WRECK? “”It was just one of those Talladega deals. We were able to get our Dodges together and drive our way up to the front. We made some great moves, but got towards the back in the shuffle and when we did, we caught a big group that just stopped for some reason. I heard that David Ragan blew up, I’m not exactly sure. We ran up on the group and I just wasn’t able to stop quick enough with Kurt (Busch) on my tail and it just spun me right out. Just one of them deals here at Talladega. It’s just racing. I just got on the wrong end of it.” WAS IT AVOIDABLE? “Everything is avoidable. You can always slow down. It’s more like unpredictable.” HOW HARD IS IT TO COMMUNICATE WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM? “It just happens so fast that you can’t communicate things quick enough. You’re talking about split-second decisions that are now slowed down by split- second conversations. It’s just hard to get it all done.” WAS THE PLAN FOR YOU AND KURT TO RUN TOGETHER THE REST OF THE RACE? “I’d like too, but as you can see not everyone is on the race track that you want to work with.” COULD KURT HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO AVIOD RUNNING INTO YOU? “He could of maybe checked up earlier, but it happens so quick that it’s really hard to judge sometimes.” -- 30 -- -###- Additional information and news from Stellantis are available at: https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com .

  • ADAM STEVENS: Crew Chief Biography
    ADAM STEVENS: Crew Chief Biography Birthdate: 7/22/78 Hometown: Portsmouth, Ohio Residence: Huntersville, North Carolina Marital Status: Married to Aubrey Children: Carter and Ryan In just five seasons as a full-time NASCAR Cup Series crew chief, Adam Stevens has certainly etched his name into the record books as one-half of the most formidable driver-and-crew chief combinations the sport has ever seen. The 41-year-old native of Portsmouth, Ohio, first joined forces with Kyle Busch and the No. 18 M&M’S/Interstate Batteries Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) at the start of the 2015 Cup Series season and, in the relatively short time since, has led all competitors with two series championships and 27 victories in 169 races together through the 2019 campaign. Stevens and Busch clinched their second Cup Series title together at the most reason Championship 4 season finale last November at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where Busch led a race-high 120 laps and crossed the finish line a comfortable 4.5 seconds ahead of his JGR teammate Martin Truex Jr. Coupled with their 2015 championship together, Stevens became just the 15th crew chief in Cup Series history to win multiple championships, tying him with a virtual who’s who of history-making crew chiefs including Greg Zipadelli, Jeff Hammond, Andy Petree, Tim Brewer and Smokey Yunick with two titles apiece. Stevens’ and Busch’s 27 wins together is the most during the last five Cup Series seasons, the next-closest duo being driver Kevin Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers, who won 21 races in that time and 26 wins together since their first and only championship season in 2014.

  • Effect of Two Drafting Modalities in Cycling on Running Performance

VALLIER, D. LEHENAFF, J. BRISSWALTER, D. SMITH, G. MILLET, and P. DREANO. Effect of two drafting modalities in cycling on running performance. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 3, 2001, pp. 485–492. Purpose: The purposes of this study were first to compare the physiological responses during a triathlon where cycling was performed alternatively with another cyclist (alternate draft triathlon, ADT) or continuously behind him (continuous draft triathlon, CDT), and second to study the incidence of these two drafting modalities in cycling on the subsequent running performance done during a simulated triathlon. Methods: Ten male triathletes of national level performed a sprint distance triathlon (0.75-km swim, 20-km bike, 5-km run) on two different sessions, one where the triathlete alternatively rode in front or at the back of another cyclist and rotating every 500 m, the other where the triathlete drafted continuously a professional cyclist whose task was to reproduce all split times recorded during the ˙ ˙ alternate situation. Oxygen uptake (VO2), expiratory flow (VE), heart rate (HR) were recorded during the entire bike and run sections - and blood lactate concentrations ([La ]b) were analyzed at the end of each event composing the triathlon.
