This weekend, we head to Phoenix Raceway for the Straight Talk Wireless 500. The race is Sunday at 3:30pm ET on FS1. We have our first “short” track with the new 750hp and lower downforce package. Most drivers had great things to say about the extra horsepower. They said the cars were slipping around the track and it made them tougher to drive. That might be a big factor on Sunday. This tire code was used at Bowman Gray for the Clash. It was used at Phoenix, Martinsville, North Wilkesboro, Richmond, and New Hampshire in 2025. Practice was 3-5 tenths faster than the Championship in November. The new package makes a difference. I’ll be using practice data, recent Phoenix data, short flat track data, 2025 speed, pit road data, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend.
