You are correct on the fuel mileage Christopher. However, given the new ethanol, and dodge engines this year, I would think some of the practice time made available could be used to figure out the mileage before the race. (Of course now that practice speeds determine qual order, it kind of eliminates using the pre-qual practice from any kind of useful testing other than balls-out speed.)

They didn't get it full. A couple people made mistakes on this one. He came up about a quarter Gallon short. Shouldn't have happened, but it did. On to the next one.

Ah, I hadn't heard that. I thought it was a miscalculation. Thanks.

Ya, no one has heard it. Thats not official from the team tho. Should have been caught, it wasn't. I'm not going to place blame here. I'll post the stop in the videos. On the bright side, saw lots of SPEED fans around. Also, the SPEED and redbull haulers were parked next to each other. I took pictures of both coolers about 15 mins before green. (Coolers are free for everyone to try that are in the garage area). The Speed cooler was only half ful. The redbull cooler was 95% full. All other crew guys were going for Robby's drink over redbull's. This stuff is GOOD!

Hey TOG do you know if this was the same car as Vegas?, I think he had trouble getting it to turn there also, The car was definitely fast down the straights but he appeared not to be able to hold it through the turns.
