The team of Neal Williams work their "tire expertise" to try to get a hold of the smooth, slick surface that the sun and the wind dished up for the competitors...
Speaking of Neal Williams, here he is hot off a huge weekend at Syracuse which included a pole run, followed up by the win in the biggest Crate race of the year
The "Williams" name has been involved in racing for a long time.. Here's a #44 that was owned by Neal's grandfather with driver Ken Marriot behind the wheel
