I won or runnered up 38 times at Hampton and 7 weeks straight at National with none of the electronic toys drivers have available now, I still have most of the time slips. Some of today's drivers hop from a slow stocker to a Super Comp and do well with both.
The difference is the Hemi Shootout cars don’t get to make separate qualifying runs for the shootout and the eliminator, do they? There wouldn’t be opportunities to set up properly for both types of tree.
