Teams knew they’d be faced with the task of adapting to a new short-track package, which was designed to enhance racing by decreasing downforce.
New louvers were clearly no problem for the No. 5 team, after Larson dominated the headlines — and speed charts — once again by qualifying on the pole with a 27.642 sec. hot lap around Phoenix.
The general consensus is the cars are much more difficult to drive, due to the lack of grip in the turns. In decreasing downforce, the cars aren’t as grounded to the track, making for looser handling. “The cars are harder to drive and you’re forced to move around the race track more, which opens up opportunities to find clean air. Last year, everyone ran the same lane. We saw it in practice, cars were already moving up into the second and third lane, so it’s pretty clear that’ll happen during the race.”
The forecast in Avondale calls for 100% sunshine and a high 80 degrees, which means the track temperature will likely hit triple digits. The significance of this, if the fact that warmer conditions make for a slicker racing surface with more tire wear. Denny Hamlin will join Larson on the front row as the 2021 champion looks to keep Chevy undefeated this season. However, Glendale-born Michael McDowell hopes to have something to say after a career-best qualifying effort of seventh at his home track.
The win in his series debut didn't come easily for Reif, who was involved in a crash on Lap 11 that damaged the rear of his car. Quick work by the Lowden-Jackson Motorsports crew kept him in the race.
