[During this week's COT testing in Atlanta,] one thing that got all of our attention was Kyle Busch being at the top of the speed chart for all four sessions of the test. It tells us No. 1, how good Gibbs’ stuff is going to be. Kyle and Denny [Hamlin] were both real fast and it almost looked like they were doing a ‘if you can do this, I can do it one better’ kind of deal, you know? So I think those guys are going to be strong. You know, Gibbs and Hendrick were the first ones to really get their flat-track stuff going the best, with this COT. If you look back at the beginning of the year, where Gibbs led all the laps and Hendrick won all the races.
It looks like that’s pretty much where we are, again. You’ve got to start all over again for your mile-and-a-half program, because these cars want something just a little bit different than they wanted in the past, and you can tell that Gibbs and Hendrick still have an edge on everybody with their COT program.
They were the fastest Tuesday, especially the Gibbs cars, and I tell you, they were really setting the bar pretty high. Full Story
