probably still there just something different now so Jeff Burton's first cars at Ross were set up on that plate right there yes the cool thing about that is we were probably about right here and I love the story because Jeff Jeff was really Hands-On Frankie Stoddard get the cards off the plate I'd bring him over here and I'd bump steer them we'd nut and bolt them put them on a truck well that particular night Jeff was here and me and Jeff were bummed steering the car he was underneath changing slugs I was running the numbers and we bump shared the car and and then we took that car to Texas and we won the race so the first thing Jeff says to me is I guess I'm gonna have to bump steer out of cars because if we finally won the race I mean we knocked on the door a bunch but when we won Texas um he actually did help me bump steer that car and that's one of my coolest memories ever when you know you see Jeff Burton nobody can really look at him and look as he's a Hands-On kind of guy but he was 100 percent a Hands-On kind of guy and as good a mechanic as anybody we had in here because he did it himself for a long time and I really respected that everybody respected it Lance Hill Lance romance he had a suspension room
