AJ ALLMENDINGER, NO. 47 KROGER CLICKLIST CAMARO ZL1 - RACING AT RICHMOND RACEWAY: "Richmond (Raceway) is a racetrack where the racing is tough and you have got to get the car to turn to be successful," Allmendinger said. "Having forward bite in our No. 47 Kroger ClickList Camaro ZL1 is really important, and you can easily wear the front tires off. Over the last couple of years, the track has gotten really slick. It is a difficult task to try to find that balance of good turn, still having good forward drive and not burning the tires off. It’s a place that’s been a rough patch for our organization. We’re learning every year, and we’ll go there and try some new things and to be better."

When it comes to big purchases, a car is usually everyone’s first. The difference between buying a car and a house, of course, is that while houses typically increase in value and are seen as one of the most stable investment choices you can make, cars depreciate in value over time. It is for that reason that maintaining your car and doing all that you can so that you can prolong its life is key to making the most of your purchase.
