Miller Addresses Media - Speedway Digest

NASCAR VP of Competition, Scott Miller, was made available to media after Sunday’s night’s Quaker State 400.

“I think the low downforce package helped this race on the repave,” stated Miller, “I think the corner speeds would have been extremely high with the higher downforce, stepping out of the groove, and would have more consequences than we had tonight.”

Miller stated that NASCAR will look this week and collaborate with teams and OEM’s on whether or not they will test out the package used here tonight at Kentucky.

“There were some strategic reasons we chose to do it. We engaged the entire industry on putting the plan together about when we are going to do it. That certainly does make since, but the timing of that, some testing we had, lots of things go into making these decisions with the schedule. It just didn’t line up for us to be able to do that with the initial plan.”

Miller also stated that NASCAR will not be making any aero changes during the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
