00:00 >> Check with our crew chief, Larry Mac.
00:02 >> Yeah, Mike, I've been doing a little cyphering back here in the studio at Charlotte.
00:07 We've talked about the speeds and the grip level of this racetrack.
00:10 We went back and looked at martin Truex Jr.'s lap two of the race last year.
00:15 Remember he won this race.
00:17 That lap time was a 78.99.
00:20 We just looked at Kyle Larson, his second lap, a 74.63.
00:25 That's a little over four seconds.
00:27 Where is the speed coming?
00:29 Larson has over 13 seconds more wide open throttle on his lap than Truex did in that
00:35 lap two of last year.
00:36 So it's all about grip and speed and on that loud pedal.
