That sounds like New England Swamp Yankee Rationalization!!

Why not just go hell bent on winning a pole and get some exposure? He gets nothing running back in 30s. Cars outside the top 35 seem to be able to play around at the top of the time charts so I think he should see if he can do that for a while and get noticed that way.

yeah, go for the pole only, and park it after lap 1 in the race. Sounds like a plan.

Well maybe not taking it to that extreme TOG but he's got to be quicker than this right ?

there will be guys running real fast laps now, struggle with grip 20 laps into the race and quickly getting lapped.Hopefully the long run setups will work for the team tomorrow.

Slow and Steady wins the race at Darlington, lol

But why work on the long runs when the average laps run between cautions have been 34 laps over the last five years? 34 laps is not a long run at all. The strategy of the team is fundamentally flawed.

Tire wear strategy at a track like Darlington is fundamentally SOUND.

Darlington: Major problem with rearspoilers: rightside hangs out 6 inches, grabs the wall and spins car nose first into the wall
