What is the most difficult thing about setting up a car for Atlanta?
There are a few bumps there in certain places that kind of upset the car a little bit. Another thing is, there is so much fall off there, which goes back to the balance again. If you’re tight, you’re going to get tighter and tighter and if you’re loose, you’re going to get looser and looser and looser. Tire grip is a big thing at Atlanta. It gives up rapidly. It’s a fun place to race, because there are three good grooves. You can race side-by-side with cars there for 10 laps, and it’s not like Kansas and Chicago where you lose three to five tenths when you’re racing somebody. You can get far enough away and really, truly race a guy. How much a part is aerodynamics to a setup, given that Atlanta is very fast? Greg Zipadelli: It’s definitely less than Daytona or Talladega. Atlanta is one of the better places we go to that has tire give-up throughout a run.
