It’s the second road race of the year this week with a trip to Austin Texas and the 20-turn behemoth known as COTA or Circuit of the Americas. I would highly suggest reading through the lengthy track breakdown this week as well as listening to the podcast with Dan Malin and myself to get a handle on strategy for the week. This intro won’t be as in-depth as usual since it’s an unknown track for the Cup drivers and they haven’t qualified for their spots yet either and won’t until Sunday morning. The only way I will be updating the playbook is if someone is a big surprise in qualifying in terms of starting spot.
