Talladega NASCAR Practice #1 Notes

Some Practice General Observations: The draft seemed to work like normal, but things were magnified. Tandem drafting didn’t happen. Bump drafting was minimal.

Alex Bowman – Practiced running in the draft early. Ten minutes into practice he said, “It’s a little darty out front, but pretty good behind guys.” 40 minutes into practice he said, “It’s better than it was. Still pretty aggressive through the bumps, but definitely better.”

David Ragan – Said the cars got really good runs. Said his car has potential, but his team needs to tweak on it.

Daniel Hemric – Following his first ten lap run in the draft he said his car was “darty” to start, but no worse than anyone else in the draft.”

Corey LaJoie – “It’s nice to have good power.” Said the cars draft up much better than before.

Bubba Wallace – Said he had a good shake down and his team has a game plan for practice #2. He has a brand new car this weekend. Feels like he needs to capitalize this weekend.
