The Cup Series drew for starting positions Wednesday evening for the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky. I talked to a crew chief today from the Xfinity Series. He told me not to focus on what happened at Homestead and Atlanta. He said the setups from Las Vegas and Charlotte are what the teams will be using Sunday. The drivers who were fast in those races, should be fast again at Kentucky. I entered the data from those two races into my model and came up with new rankings.
Here are my rankings for Kentucky…
