Saturday, 5:30pm ET - Justin Larson will be running his back up car tonight, after wrecking his primary car. He will have to start at the rear along with Travis Dassow who got a piece of the wall as well.
Some drivers have said that track conditions might be the cause for the tire problems. The temperature has been in the 80's most of the day. Others feel that the support division has changed this because they are not on the same type or brand of tire.
Saturday, 5:00pm ET - We have some down time here at Bristol we will be back in a bit.
Saturday, 4:33pm ET - The issue with the tires comes down to the fact that this is the first year that the ASA Late Model Series has used a radial tire here at Bristol. Like at Indy a few weeks back with the NASCAR boys, drivers are complaining about blistered tires. Teams will be aloud to change tires if there is blistering in the first 100 laps. They also will be aloud an extra set of tires in the pits during the race.
Saturday, 4:15pm ET - Here is the full rundown after qualifying. ASA Officials are having a meeting with the drivers about tire concerns. We will keep you update if any changes are made. Right now the plan is four a halfway stop at lap 100 and all team will likely change four tires then.

Saturday, 2:25pm ET - We are 10 minutes from qualifying and there is a good chance that the track record for Sprint Cup cars could fall.

Saturday, 1:30pm ET - The track still has activity as the Mod 4, Street Stocks and Charges are testing the high banks. If you are in the area come on down as there will be plenty of seats around this half mile track. with 160,000 options I think you can find one that you like.
Saturday, 1:20pm ET - Today's practice was complete earlier, here is the run down for the 34 cars that are here. The old track record was broken by each of the top 13 drivers. keep in mind the pole for the Sprint Cup Race here last August was much slower.
