Bruton Smith's speed palace in Fort Worth has been a jewel and a thorn on the NASCAR circuit. This track is known for it's huge purses and huge wrecks. With only one racing groove any wreck usually becomes a milti-car pile-up. Can you avoid the carnage and make it to the end?
Keys to Racing @ Texas
Qualifying is Key: The most important part of the weekend will be qualifying (as it is almost everywhere on the Nascar circuit). Here a good Q run will go a long way toward a top five and maybe even a win. Note: There are two laps of Q'ing with two warm up laps to begin the Q session. Up from the back: Let's assume you don't run the perfect qualifying lap or you hit some water sepage in turn two and park the car into the wall. Don't worry-with patience you can move up from the back at this track. Expect a lot of cautions and pit at evry one up to the AI's scheduled stop. This will put you off sequence and allow you to gain valuable track position when the time comes. Aero damage won't kill you: Even though this is a track where aerodynamic's play a big role, a little damage will not limit you significantly. I have come through the field missing fenders and bumpers with my set-up. Stay out of trouble: Stuff happens! Try to stay away from it. Don't put your car where it doesn't belong. Pass in traditional places like the tri-oval, the back stretch, or on pit road, where good strategy can get you a win (ask Jeff Gordon!). |
