It looks like there were several incidents in ARCA practice yesterday:

-#02 Josh Williams backed into the wall, destroying the rear of his car.

-#92 Brennan Newberry pancaked he side of his car. They are going to a backup car.

-#32 Aleks Gregory suffered minor damage on his car.

#58 Chad Hackenbracht damaged the right rear of his car pretty badly and also damaged the rest of the right side of his car.

Kevin Swindell was the fastest in practice at over 193 mph, nobody else was over 192.

A couple Nationwide teams have tweeted that drivers are looking for drafting partners... So they can tandem draft. They have also cut off the ears on the sides of the spoiler.

Cutting off the ears on the rear spoiler will A) create less drag which means a bit more speed B) make the cars a little bit harder to handle in traffic and C) make it harder to suck up on a draft....interesting

Well, this race would be epic with or without plate, it's just something very special and unique. This and the 24h. It's my birthday sunday and I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

Definitely going to see pack racing tomorrow. :thumbsup:

But it seems if you barely get out of the groove the car get's really loose.

Looking at the time distribution, it seems like they are working on tandem drafting.

Goddamnit...

They had about 8 cars lined up drafting early on, now just doing single car runs. The cars without the winglets on where getting too loose.

So is this pretty much going to be a superspeedway race for the Nationwide guys, or will the tires eventually fall off and spread the field.

I'll be able to catch the 2nd half.... which will probably be boring because half the drivers will wreck in the 1st half.
