my guess he's in his normal downforce trim which means way slow single car speeds but top-tier race-day handling.

and this track is all about handling,whereas Talladega isnt.

he could sleep through qualifying here. It really doesn't make any difference. I really hope he will abandon the 'ride around in the back' strategy. Seems just as dangerous there as up front and up front you get to see who you'll have to battle at the end.

Yeah, first practice was all single car runs.

TOG....we are in full race trim...........single car runs will not be that good at all........should draft like a bitch...........

I never understand why Robby doesn't take advantage of the practice time. He'll do minimal laps, then spend the first quarter of the race trying to get the car dialed in. Only 8 laps in practice so far - yeah, top 20 times are okay, but run it a while, see if it holds up.

I wonder if Robby is worried that he could get wrecked in practice and feels that he has a good car and doesnt want to risk it in practice, though i was surprised to see Robby do a mock qualifying lap in practice usually he doesnt care about qualyfing at the plate tracks.

if the car works and drives ok, whats the point of running the extra laps in tight quarter drafting practice? He doesnt need 'experience' .

Right, no need to put out extra laps and put us in a position to get wrecked
