THE TEACHER; Andy Wallace knows what he's talking about.(NASCAR drivers' techniques)(Interview)
Byline: LARRY EDSALL
When it comes to NASCAR drivers, Andy Wallace explains, "They all do the same thing wrong.''
What? We thought NASCAR drivers could do no wrong. So what is this Wallace guy talking about? Who does he think he is? Why, he is not even related to Rusty, Kenny or Mike. In fact, he speaks with a British accent.
Maybe we should listen, because this Wallace has won at Le Mans and Sebring, and he has even won at Daytona-three times. Give him a minute and he will explain one of the big differences between driving a Nextel Cup stock car and a Rolex Cup sports prototype car. He will also tell you why he was happy to have Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart, two of NASCAR's best and brightest, as his teammates in the 24 Hours of Daytona earlier this year.
Just what do Earnhardt and Stewart and other NASCAR drivers do wrong when they climb out the windows of their stock cars and lower themselves into rear-engined sports prototype racers?
"They don't push the right pedal hard enough,'' says Wallace.
Blasphemy! If there is one thing NASCAR drivers know how to do, it is how to stand on the gas.
