Track Trivia:
Believe it or not aero is actually pretty important here, so it your transmission. During this road course everything needs to work right. What's cool about this track is they will race in the rain. Goodyear brings a special rain tire only for this track. Cars also must be equipped with a windshield wiper, front window defogger and a rear brake light. (Listen, I read this on foxsports.com and I don't know if I buy this. Let's just say I've never seen a brake light on a Cup car - ever.)
Pitting here is backwards. The driver pit wall is on the passengers side of the cars.
Where is the trouble? The corners. The only way to pass here is to beat a guy coming into the corners and that can cause crashes.
