• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Qualifying at plate tracks and "conventional wisdon"

As long as I've been watching NASCAR, the technique for qualifying at the plate tracks has always been the same: Run lap 1 high, and lap 2 low. The explanation has always been that lap 1 is used to build up speed, so you take “the long way” around to have maximum time to gain speed to prepare for lap 2. I've always wondered about this, and if there was any data to support this technique. Well, Jeff Gordon answered that question on Saturday. He ran both laps on the bottom, and won the pole. Imagine that. Will everyone else do it that way from now on?
