After single-car runs, tandem drafts, and pack racing that exceeded a dozen cars, NASCAR has decided on a superspeedway package for the 2022 season. A 7-inch spoiler with 510hp will be utilized at Daytona, Talladega and the newly reconfigured Atlanta Motor speedway.
There were no on-track incidents during the two-day test with the only issue of note being an engine failure for Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing. 15 teams and over 20 drivers took part this week.
Harrison Burton posted the fastest lap speed of all drivers, averaging 195.304mph in the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing Ford Mustang.
