Just over two hours into the first of a two-day test, NASCAR asked teams to run a 10-lap drafting test on the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
In the test, the cars utilized an aero package featuring 510 horsepower with a 7-inch spoiler. While NASCAR didn’t immediately release timing and scoring data from the session, officials said the speeds were “comparable” to those seen at Daytona during the 2021 season (averaging 186 to 187 mph).
“It’s obviously kind of the first day of school for everybody out here. With these cars and the way they draft, I was pretty happy with the way the pack formed up,” said Austin Cindric, a rookie with Team Penske.
“We were able to make runs and race for the lead. It was funny – it was pretty hard racing for a test session. It was fun, though. I don’t know if we’ll race in another pack today but I hope everybody enjoyed it.”
