From the Cockpit:

Brandon Jones: “Luckily, we’ve had some teammates who were able to test on the new surface, so we have some notes going into this weekend. We’ve been trying to do everything we can simulator wise since that’s the only way we’ll be able to see it before we go. TRD does a good job at simulating these tracks. It’s going to be interesting; it’s going to be a similar package to what you’d see at Daytona but a much shorter racetrack.”
