We aren't incredibly fast here in the first 45 minutes of the first practice

Allmendinger is top 15, Mennard top 25, but Sadler and Kahne are further back.

We are all locked in, so hopefully we run well in the draft.

These Front Row satellite Yates teams are the slowest off the truck.

Working on racing set up and looking at different setup

Hopefully we are working on setup and not qualifying because now we don't have anyone in the top 20 as others are putting down better laps.

They aren't working on race setup because they're running alone on the track and not in the draft.

Qualifying at Daytona means very little, and practice means even less.

Andrew ,it's a known fact that Daytona is a handling track and Dega is ------just race.

They better be working on handling that darn COT

You can't work on the handling when you're running by yourself. Ask anyone, if you try to get one of these restrictor plate cars handling by running alone, you will be completely off when you get in the draft. Yes, Daytona is something of a handling track, but you have to work on the handling in the draft, not by yourself.
