Next Gen analysis: How teams prepare for Daytona chaos

The top 10 spots were all Fords, Chevy was mostly 11-20 range, and Toyota doesn't even show up until 23rd place. Makes me wonder if there's some sandbagging going on, or if Ford engines just happen to agree better with the new cars on plate tracks.

The Ford teams seemed to spend most of both practice sessions in packs while the other teams seemed to mix it up more.

Practice 1 was a bit more even as the Toyota teams did most of their drafting during that session, although Ford was still a bit ahead.

No matter how you look at it though, Villeneuve is in trouble.

Yeah, fair enough. I missed practice 1 and didn't expect too much to be different, clearly I wasn't quite right about that. It just struck me as interesting that there was such obvious stratification in practice 2's results.The Ford teams seemed to spend most of both practice sessions in packs while the other teams seemed to mix it up more.

Update to the rules for today that should limit the skew we saw yesterday.

Next Gen analysis: How teams must adapt to Tuesday rule change
NASCAR implemented a rule change Wednesday to reduce reverse skew. As a result, we will see teams making suspension changes.

Also worth noting is that Alex Bowman has set a new record for consecutive front row starts in the 500, as this is his fifth year up there.

I'm guessing everyone will be extra cautious tonight, but it should still give us a good idea of how well they draft in larger groups.
I'm also predicting Grala and Biffle get the final spots (but really NASCAR should just make an 11th hour decision and let all 42 cars race).

The 55 is a teammate of the 66, a car I do not expect to be too competitive. Now Grala has lost the draft as well.First Duel has been a parade thus far as expected, cars look good drafting though.
I would say I didn’t see it coming, but that paint scheme is rather hard to miss (which I suppose is a good thing).
EDIT: 55 is NOT a teammate of the 66 and I don't know why I thought that.
