Meet the new boss....same as the old boss (damn template racing anyway).
During his press conference yesterday Jr was talking about testing and qualifying. He said that they are testing for qualifying and for the race, but without the draft it's hard to tell. They taped up the grill but that shoots all the air over the car which then hits the rear spoiler.
He said you gotta deal with the air one way or the other.
Here it is, he says it better than me.....
"I'm pretty happy. I anticipated that we might struggle a little bit in qualifying. I think we'll draft fine and race well. I don't know why but I thought that we might not qualify well, but we might. It's still a long way to go. We really don't have the car tied down or in the proper trim. We've got a lot of tape on the grille but that didn't seem to do much. When you tape the grille off, a lot of the air that you keep from going in the radiator goes over the roof and hit the blades so, you get slowed down by that air one way or another. I'm pretty happy. From the look of the cars we have together I'm happy. The craftsmanship is really good. I'll know what kind of team we have after we get done with this and then go to California and Las Vegas. It's hard to tell where we're at in the grand scheme from one end of the garage to the other."
