Kyle Petty explains why racing on wet weather tires at New Hampshire made the race better
Kyle Petty believes the switch to wet weather tires during last weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway ironically made for some better racing.
The NASCAR Cup Series tried to move up the start time to avoid Mother Nature interfering in the USA Today 301 on Sunday, but it was to no avail, as rain and lightning rolled through the area with 82 laps to go. The red flag came out, and with the way it was down-pouring in Loudon, hope seemed to be lost.
Then, in a twist we haven’t seen really ever in the Cup Series on an oval, the decision was made to put on the wet weather tires, and NASCAR was able to finish the race. Christopher Bell was the major beneficiary, as he was able to take the lead and hold onto it.
Afterwards, Petty elaborated on why the racing at the end of the race proved why wet weather tires can work, believing the final 82 laps plus overtime made for one of the better races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in quite some time.
“New Hampshire. It never rains in New Hampshire. It always rains in New Hampshire when there’s a NASCAR race, and this weekend was no exception. But I thought the rain and the wet track made it one of the best New Hampshire races that I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Petty explained. “Christopher Bell did a masterful job of maintaining an understanding of what the track was doing, and understanding how he needed to change his positions on the racetrack.
“Now, I go back, It’s a wet weather tire. It is not a rain tire people. We didn’t see any windshield wipers on these cars. It’s a wet weather tire, and I want to throw something at you, in wet conditions, the track gets slick. Slick track means throttle, means driver, means good racing. Let’s just put those three together right there. What we saw though, was these guys were running three to four seconds slower when the rain came and the wet track came than what they were under normal conditions, and it didn’t change the racing. Running slower made the racing better. It went from a two, maybe a three groove racetrack, to a six groove racetrack. Those guys were on the apron with their left sides in the grass almost when the weather came. That’s because that’s what weather tires do. They allow you to run in other places. They allow the racetrack to open up.”
It was once thought NASCAR could only use the wet weather tires at a road course, but Sunday’s action has proven there’s many more possibilities than that. Kyle Petty and the rest of the NASCAR world loved the action, and now it’s only a matter of when, not if we’ll see them again.
Mickey’s N.Y Pizza in Derry keeps coming up on my radar which makes me feel like I really need to try this place.
We were just talking about Mickey’s a few months back when they added the viral chopped Italian Sub to their menu, a bold but noble move that has been very well received by the sub eating community.
With all the hype around this fresh, made from scratch pizzeria located in Derry, New Hampshire, it’s no shock that Dave Portnoy aka El Presidente would want to try this place for himself.
Dave Portnoy Pizza Reviews
if you didn’t know, the president of Barstool sports and former Swampscott, Massachusetts resident turns to his Barstool audience from across the country for recommendations on pizza joints he needs to visit to rate.
His Youtube video series is called One Bite Pizza Reviews and “One bite, everyone knows the rules.” is a phrase we all know and love and is uttered by millennials, Gen Z’ers, and zillennials alike thanks to Barstool Sports.
What I love about the series is he always picks local mom and pop shops and many times his platform gives them a well deserved bump in business!
A little birdie must have told him about Mickey’s in Derry and he needed to see what all the fuss was about.
We are on the edge of our seat waiting to hear what score the pizza loving king gave Mickey’s N.Y Pizza but at the time of publishing this article that information has not been released yet.
Follow Mickey’s on Facebook and subscribe to One Bite Pizza Reviews Youtube channel so you can see the review right when it drops!

Tune in Friday, June 28 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 29 at 12 p.m. for a special one-hour broadcast of The Youth Detention Center from NHPR’s Document team.
More than a thousand people have come forward to say they were abused by adults in charge at New Hampshire’s juvenile jail, known as YDC or the Youth Development Center, and other youth facilities run or contracted by the state. And people are still coming forward. How did this happen – and how did it finally come to light?
The project is a rare look inside the black box of the juvenile justice system, where privacy laws meant to protect kids also hid abuse. Jason uncovers confidential documents and previously untold stories of misconduct and retaliation, as well as surprising moments of courage, compassion, and triumph.
The team also produced a three-part podcast series called “The Youth Development Center,” hosted by NHPR’s Jason Moon. All three episodes are available now wherever you get your podcasts.
