Martinsville Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500 NASCAR Practice #1 Notes
Danica Patrick – Got into the wall. Will be going to a backup car. Was using the chassis she used earlier this season. Got back out on the track with about minutes remaining.
Kevin Harvick – Said his car wasn’t bad. He needs to turn better in the center and wants help on drive off. A little later he said the adjustments made to his car didn’t help. About a half hour through practice his car was better.
Jimmie Johnson – Focused mainly on qualifying setup. Using a chassis that has won twice here including this spring. Did some experimenting.
Matt Kenseth – The team feels they have a good baseline setup based off his spring performance. Tight in race trim and said it pushed like a dump truck.
Martin Truex Jr. – Worked on race trim early. In qualifying trim he said his car was loose.
