Which motor placement did they qualify with. I thought that they were running them in the rear.

Nice to see this departure in chassis design as opposed to another variation on the same theme. And the new shock design is, imo, long overdo.

The grip does seem to be down even from last week, I guess because it's colder and the heaters are running more, drying out the air in the building. Tfhe better locals (Chad Due, Nick A., Steven Just, Randy Konruff) were all clearing the whole jump section under the driver's stand consistently. Seems like Dustin is going faster without doing it now though.
