“Concrete is a rougher surface and is not heat sensitive,” Wauters continued. “It doesn’t change from day to night. The track gets

black with the more rubber down on it making the truck tighter so we anticipate for that in our set up. I don’t know if the softer right side tire should have an overall effect on the grip. It may play into a different pit strategy of pitting twice if the tires wear out. We might have to make two pit stops for tires instead of the usual one and done.”
