I'm really interested to see these cars close together but that's probably not going to happen until Sunday.

Probably, but man at some point, you have to see what you've got before you realize that you don't have enough....
 
Man, I don't know about this package. I don't like that they have to use the brakes at a 2 mile 18 degree banked track.

I do. I've never liked tracks where they could hold their foot down all the way around. This puts back some braking skills, which leads to tire management.

So far, I'm loving the large delta between straight line speed and corner apex speed. Off throttle time, braking into corners, it's all good. Make the drivers earn it.

8:53AM here on the west coast of Lower Michigan. Not a cloud in the sky and 73F. Going to be a beautiful day in Brooklyn.

I knew I was sending bad weather to Pocono last week and I know I am sending great weather to MIS this week. The west coast of Lower Michigan is some beautiful country from Petoskey down to Bridgman. I was up in St Joe and Grand Haven last week.
 
@nascarcasm

Getting out of bed was easy this morning because there's significantly less downforce today. Off to @MISpeedway. #NASCAR
 
Fingers crossed. Really hopes TV does not TV keep on eating into the fiber of NASCAR. So hoping for another wonderful coca cola 600 2016 repeat!
