Track Trivia:
With 500 mile races here and almost no use of the brakes, engine strength is important here. With the track being new teams will get the car as low to the ground as possible so it sticks to the track. Coming into the corners is very important because drivers will push their machines to about 200 MPH. A well balanced car is extremely important.
Fuel mileage is very important here because there is typically long green runs. This might start to change because more grooves are being worn into the track and there is more side by side racing than in the past.
Tire strategy isn't too important here. Track position is a must so you will see a lot of teams gamble with taking two tires on a pit stop.
Where is the trouble? Mostly in the front stretch where the track just continues to curve around.
