Yep - that was pretty obvious yesterday - when a car is SO much faster than everyone else across the top, setup is going to hurt it when it comes to outright top speed.

Agree - amazed that anyone took Chaz' comments on trap speed seriously yesterday. They had speed readouts up on majority of cars in the shootout today - fastest was Feeney at 289, next De Pasquale at 288, others up there too or at worst 287. Chaz was 284 - with the same aero and same engine as the DJR cars, that speed difference is purely down to car setup and driving approach, no more, no less. Will be good to have the transient dyno work done though, so that we know empirically exactly where they both sit.

Yes, he sure is - nailed the starts on both days, which really made today's race much better.
