When you look at today's race versus last year's race
0:02
do you have a preference of what you want last year, this year, somewhere in the middle
0:09
I've led 860-something laps the last two. Obviously, I'm going to be biased to this
0:18
I just think it's more fun. We're still out there managing our runs
0:26
I don't know. I don't really, I don't know. Last year was very excessive
0:34
I mean, we were running maybe 50% throughout a run, and that was too much
0:42
But then today we're much closer to 100% every lap, but somewhere between 85% to 90% trying to still manage everything
0:53
Like me in the lead, I don't want to get my stuff too hot to where when I catch traffic, I can't pass lappers
0:59
So, you know, I think that's why Denny and I were still able to, you know
1:03
lap a lot of cars is because we still did a good job managing our tires
1:07
Although it might be a little less wear, it's still a lot more temp-related that you're managing
1:12
So I would obviously love it if it could still, like, the tire could lay more rubber and the pace would, you know
1:20
the track would get slicker. Like with Xfinity, it gets really black
1:24
And when it gets black, it's just greasy feeling and the pace slows down
1:30
Where when it's kind of a lighter gray like it is, you have the cup cars we run here
1:35
It's just it does keep it faster pace. So I would more ask for a tire that sticks the rubber to the track because it'll have a sliding around more and like slowing down more
