Really? I think you are being too conservative. Well, with the progressive banking I guess that would have changed things. Probably also depends on if you are running the high line or low line too.

DW said the center is the line to run. Except when he said that you need to stay on the bottom to make the best laps here. But that was after he said coming high off the corners and then diving low gave you the best speed.

So yeah, you're right, and DW agrees - it depends.

What a great job by team RGM yesterday. Of all the races I've watched live at Bristol, I don't think I've ever been as proud of them as I was yesterday. To come back from two laps down and finish 22nd was awesome. The car continually got better too. He didn't just finish there because a bunch of people wrecked. I was really happy with the pit strategy as well. I was disappointed to come home and find that he didn't make it into the top 35 in owner points, but with more runs like yesterday, getting back up there shouldn't be a problem. Way to go RG!!!!
