From the Driver’s Seat:
Kasey Kahne: “I really feel like being able to turn well is the biggest key to having a good race at New Hampshire. It’s a flat track so it’s really hard to get your car to turn the center of the corner at both ends and to be able to do that throughout the entire race. The track usually changes a good bit throughout the race as well so it usually gets tighter and harder to turn. If you have the turn built into your car, then usually you can be pretty good all race long there. Restarts are always important at every track we visit because that’s always a place that you can gain the most or lose the most in the shortest amount of time. Everything at New Hampshire really goes back to your car turning well though I feel. If your car is turning really well, then that’s how you’re able to gain positions since track space is a bit limited. As for the VHT that they put down last year, I think that it certainly helped some people and it hurt others. I remember that for myself, I wasn’t able to run very well in those “grip spots” that were created from the VHT. The longer the race went on, and as the VHT wore off, the better we got I felt, but it’s tough to say how that will affect things this weekend.”
From the Pit Box:
Jon Leonard: “Loudon is really unlike anywhere else we go on the circuit. It gets compared to being a bigger Martinsville, but that isn’t even a close similarity. There are multiple lines, multiple banking angles – and with the introduction to VHT grip compound last year – it makes it tough to set-up for. Plus, the VHT is always changing, so you really have to be cognizant of that and tune for it as much as anything else. Turn 3 entry is usually one of the tougher parts of the track. There are some pretty big bumps into the corner, which can really upset the balance and make it tough to get the car settled back down and turning well again. While the tire wear is usually fairly heavy, keeping a car turning and getting off the corner straight is usually the key to a good, fast car at Loudon. New Hampshire is a beautiful area and I always look forward to going up that way, plus our engineer (Ben Lynch) is from that area, so it’ll be a home race for him which is a little extra motivation for us all.”
