I wish NASCAR.com would take it out to the thousandths of a second instead of just the hundredths. Jeff Gordon and Martin Truex, Jr. are both listed at 29.16 seconds, but Jeff's speed is 185.217 to Truex's 185.179. I know the reason behind the two speeds, but some people may not.

RaceTrax on foxsports.com lists times to the thousandths.

That's true Alan. Someone needs to combine the two trackers. Use the car numbers like NASCAR.com where it is easier to find a driver with the speeds and times from FoxSports.com.
