For my fifth race this season on a non-restrictor plate oval, I felt I made some pretty big gains this weekend, ... We were clicking off competitive lap times all day and felt we had at least a top-20 car.
I wanted to send the car back to North Carolina intact and we did that, ... I finished 30th, which is where I finished here last year. I ran a lot of laps and really feel like I learned a lot this weekend.
Lap times are a little slower. But it seems a lot faster with the curbs cut down. You'll still be able to pass in the Inner Loop.
