To get the cars all equal, they have to weigh the same. Now the cars are all within 5-10 pounds, and that's pretty good. I believe we are over the hump, and by [this] evening, you'll see a darn good race. We'll have some passing.
"Dave Marcis" is a retired driver on the NASCAR Winston Cup (now known as the NASCAR Sprint Cup) circuit whose career spanned five decades. Marcis won five times over this tenure, twice at Richmond International Raceway/Richmond, including his final win in 1982, and collected 94 top 5 and 222 top 10. His best championship results were 2nd in 1975, 5th in 1978, 6th in 1974, 1976 and 1982, and 9th in 1970, 1980 and 1981.
Marcis was most famous for two things: racing for his own team and racing while wearing Brogues/wingtip shoes to absorb the heat in the car. He made the Daytona 500 every year from 1968 until 1999. The 2002 Daytona 500 was the last time Marcis raced in NASCAR.

We were having so much trouble getting the cars feeling the same, I started questioning the work the guys were doing if they were cutting corners or setting them up right. I questioned what was going on with the weight, and we got to looking in the books and saw it got away from us.
