All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is race day for the United Reynolds Work, United

0:11.9

500 at Phoenix Raceway, 3.30 Eastern time. It's going to be a good one. A lot of unexpected,

0:19.4

a lot to be expected. Who's fast? Who's not?

0:22.9

What is new is this new lower downforce package from NASCAR. Super small spoiler. The

0:30.4

strakes have been taken off from the underbelly. So it's definitely taken a lot of air direction
