European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 28, 2007, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 28  stars an wednesday March 28 2007 car of tomorrow still controversial today Charlotte no theres a Comfort level being behind the wheel of your own car a familiarity that sometimes makes it easier to break the Speed limit blow through a red Light or Cut off another Driver that feeling often disappears in a borrowed car it takes time to adjust to the vehicle so the Driver is a bit More cautious maybe that How the top Talent in Lascar Felt sunday when the car of tomorrow debuted at Bris Tol motor Speedway the car was big and boxy some might even say ugly it looked different from their usual cars and Felt nothing like what they were used to and it turned whats usually a Roughan Tum ble race into a rather hokum affair i cant stand to drive them race Winner Kyle Busch said after beating Jeff Burton in a last Lap sprint to the finish line i didst see any highlights out there the car was terrible he in the pits by Jenna Fryer added its hard to set up and its hard to drive i dont remember anyone complaining about the old ones i told my team before the race that i hoped i could win it so that i could Tell everybody How bad it is there was initial scepticism when Lascar chose Bristol As the first venue for the cot be cause the 0533mile Oval is so tight the beating and banging typically begins the moment the Green Flag flies because teams worried the cot would fall apart on Impact everyone believed the track would be littered with splitters and rear wings but As Lascar closed in on the debut Bristol actually began to make sense since the track routinely produces such thrilling racing would anyone even notice the cot was out there initially no when the race began every thing appeared rather Ordinary then Tony Stewart humiliated the Field opening an insurmountable four second Lead As he dominated the first half of the race big bad Bristol suddenly be came a snooze est there was no swapping of Sheet Metal no bump Andrunso and very Little banging of the 15 cautions Only three were for mul Ticar accidents even Mark Martin who ended his Streak of 621 straight races to watch Bristol from his living room noticed How Calm things were i thought the cot handled poorly enough that the Guys Actu ally didst run Over each other be cause they didst have Good control of their car Martin said it was a cleaner race than what we normally see because the cars were so hard to control they we rent Able to get in there and mix it up its hard for me to understand How they Are Ever going to get this car to race Well consistently but opinions differed across the garage i May be wrong Burton said but from my Point of View it seemed like just another race at Bristol and noted cot critic Jeff Gor Don had softened his stance after a third place finish there were positives he said we made passes on the out Side i was surprised by in still not crazy about this thing but its growing on me Gordon also explained that his main beef with the cot is that its different from what Hes used to Chevrolet rolled out an Impala is for the cot which will be phased into Competition Over the next year and Gordon prefers his old Monte Carlo the current car drives better its got More Dow Force its got More grip it has better feel he said so if you compare it the cot to that car youre not going to like it but if Lascar sees the re sults that they want to see on the race track then we need to get rid of the Monte Carlo and just go to this thing because youre never going to like it compared to the car that we have Lascar seemed pleased after the race Competition director Robin Pemberton praised the Way the cot held up in accidents and helped mid level teams com Pete p probably 99 percent of the time you have really Good races Here from the Tower i thought it was a Good race he said we had a couple of hard impacts and the car did what it was supposed to do and absorbed Energy the cot now goes to Martins Ville Speedway another Short track that will make it difficult to determine the cars Impact so it will take at least another month when the car goes to Phoenix and Darlington to understand this new Era of Lascar until then everyone will just have to try to get comfortable with the new car a Gas easier they Are for Tiger Woods by Doug Ferguson the associated press Miami Louis Oosthuizen was making his first trip to Ameri Ca prom me Sawat was playing his first pea tour event Brett Quigley was making his 293rd Start on the pea tour without winning they were among the players Tiger Woods had to beat this past weekend in the Ca Champion ship at doral and that makes it Worth asking whether these world Golf championships Are As Tough to win As they sound the Best players in the world Are Here Woods said sunday after his two shot Victory Over Brett Wetterich who was playing a nationwide tour event in Louisi Ana at this time a year ago of no More name dropping the Blue monster hosted the top 50 in the world ranking and even Justin Rose pulling out with a Back injury and Davis love Iii withdrawing saturday when a Friend died did not dilute the Star Power in Miami Bay Hill Winner Vijay Singh was there so were Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson Ernie Els and Retief Goosen Adam Scott and Geoff Ogilvy Woods beat them All As he Usu ally does his record in the world Golf championships is astounding Woods has played these events 24 times since they began in 1999 and he has 13 titles and More than million that a career for David Duval minus a major and a 59 throw out the fickle match play championship which Woods has won twice in the wac events that Are stroke play the Ca championship and Bridges tone invitational commentary Woods is llfor16 he has never finished out of the top 10 and his Only finish worse than fifth came in 2004 in Rainy Ireland when his Back was sore and he was a week away from getting married and while it would be easy to at tribute Woods five victories in the Bridges tone invitational to Firestone a course he annihilates his six victories in the Ca championship Are remarkable he became the first player in pea tour history to win a tournament six times on six courses Valderrama mount Juliet capital City club at Harding Park san fran the Grove London and Docal where he now has won three straight years Back to the Field for a minute the Guy who nearly kept Woods from his unprecedented four straight professional majors was neither Mickelson nor Singh rather Bob May in the 2000 pea championship at Valhalla and when Woods was trying to be come the first player to capture three us majors in a season it was Rich Beem who stopped him at Hazeltine in 2002 the players championship is considered the strongest major event in Golf because All 150 play ers Are capable of winning and you Only have to look at Craig Perks to realize that some believe the masters is the easiest major to win because it has the smallest Field of the majors 97 this year largest since there were 103 players in 1966 the Field at Firestone had 41 players when it was converted into a world Golf championship in 1999 the first three years it was limited to Ryder cup and presidents cup players Woods won All it was expanded the next year to include the top 50 in the world and select tournament winners from around the world and Craig Parry of austra Lia won at Mahalee for his first us Victory what now is the Ca Champion ship had its largest Field this year at 73 players when a dozen americans decided in 2000 that the Southern coast of Spain was too far to travel for free Money that left Only a 54man Field at Valderrama maybe one reason Woods wants his new tournament in Washington to have a limited Field is because he wins so often of his 56 victories on the pea tour 27 have come in tournaments with less than a full Field of at least 144 players that would be four masters 13 a Gas seven invitationals Bay Hill memory two Mercedes Champion ships one tour championship those Are some numbers that can support the argument that Lim Tedfield events Are easier to win but there is no getting around one fact that supports his world domination if the a Gas Are easier to win Why int anyone else winning them Hes just better than us Ogilvy said i wish i could work out How he does it because he
