4200 second gear.

BTW........there will be commitment cone violations today. Pitroad is a sharp left turn there.

I've been advocating that the drivers create their own league.
There are plenty of tracks that Nascar doesn't have their hooks into, there could be a huge following if the top 30 or so drivers would put their foot down and tell Helton and France we're OUT of here for the next year unless you get rid of single supplier tires, quite handing out shocks and making these stupid rules...

Speed timer on pitroad is sooner than usual too, so that could be a problem

First car to test the out side wall at Vegas.

And it's still pretty solid.

Jr says the harder tire changes the aero on the back of the car when another car comes up on you. Nose took off a little bit.
