Bump Drafting - take it both ways

[eagle_3464]

I thought it was really funny listening to Gordon praise Stremme and Yeley for the big push they gave the 24 all day long. Isn't this the same guy who critcized (the 8 car) the bump draft last year when a racing incident collected the 24. In the next plate race he was complaining that he had no help on the track. Who wants to help a guy that is going to turn around and complain about it.

IMO, the 24, 48, 8, and 20 are the most agressive bump drafters out there. But at the same time they are the best at knowing how and when to use it.

Bumping through the turns I believe was the issue, and not so much down the backstretch.

Bump drafting in the right place the right way is fine, to hard on the straitaways lifts the rear tires off the ground (not good) and in the corners spins you out (also not good). Not everyone can do it right.
