DALE EARNHARDT JR. (No. 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet):
“I would have liked to been a little happier right now. We have a respectable lap time down, though.”
(About the COT and its differences):
“There isn’t much of a difference. However, I think you’ll find that once you get in traffic, there will be difference. This car seems to be struggling a little more with front downforce in traffic.
I’ve heard some comments from the other drivers to look out for that and to try to improve it. The motors have been great so far. There are certain tracks where motors will show up, like Michigan and Indianapolis. I was anticipating getting here and seeing what the motors would be like and if it was going to be a huge advantage.”
