we had a rough day too. I co-drove with nolan for the parade lap to give him a few pointers and see if we needed to change the set-up. other than a little preload in the rear everything seemed ok. as casey dropped the flag nolan just sat there the car wouldnt fire about 10 seconds later he took off and passed a few cars in the first 2 corners, about 5 mins later he is on the radio saying the car is getting hot I tell him to stop when he hits the pits as he is pulling up the front of the car is covered in dried mud so I figured the radiator is caked we douse it with a bucket or two of water and he is off. Once out of the pits he tells me its getting hot again but the radio communication was sketchy at best for us so as he comes into the pits again he stops and we talk he tells me when he tries to go fast it gets hot if he cruises its ok so I start looking and the fan isn't on I pull the wires off the temp switch splice them together and hey we have a fan!! taped them up and away he went he says the car is running great now temp is 180 then we lose radio contact with them 45 mins later he says they broke a tie rod and fixed it and were on their way again he hits the pits one more time I look at what he repaired and give it the ok and he heads out again this time its a clean lap and making up time as we watch other cars come and go thru the pits he rolls thru on his 5th lap ahead of the leader so i tell him to haul ass and he proceeds to get 2 flats in the last lap and with only one spare on the car has to drive 1/2 of the last lap with a front flat!! all in all we had fun and he learned a lot
