Charlotte Coca Cola 600 Practice #2 Notes
Kyle Busch – His crew chief was using this practice to get the #18 dialed in. Might not practice much in Happy Hour if they like their car following this practice.
Kevin Harvick – Made a 7 lap run and said it was to tight through the center and exit. Later he reported his car was better but it was still to tight in late exit. Later he said “Good balance right there. Feels like I’m touching the splitter a bit”. Later he said he was free on exit.
David Gilliland – Needs help turning in the center. Said his front end feel the best it’s felt in two weeks.
Jimmie Johnson – Made a 14 lap run and appeared to maintain his speed.
Clint Bowyer – Tight in the center. Not very happy with his car. Said they needed to regroup. Clint is using his All-Star race car. Later he was still working on handling issues.

If you had to take 1 top tier driver and 1 mediocre driver tomorrow who would it be?

One top tier would be Jimmie Johnson (safe pick IMO) and one mediocre driver (really depends on the definition) would be Truex Jr. if he qualifies. Digging a little deeper in mediocrity though I would seriously consider McMurray. He has lots of upside.

Thanks.. I can only use drivers 3 times so I think Ill save johnson for a little while since ive already used him once. Thinking about taking Martin Truex Jr and possibly kahne, edwards, or dale jr. Thoughts?

If you can only use Truex Jr. three times you might want to bench him also and save him for one of his better tracks (Texas, Atlanta, Dover, Kansas).
Between the three drivers who you mentioned in that last part I would do Kahne. This is his best track.

Good point.. thanks for the info. I’m gonna go with Kahne and check out your content for my second driver

I want to take Kurt really bad but I’m like you, don’t know if Krazy Kurt can last the length of this race.
