There’s a new rules package in play at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. More horsepower, more drag and more downforce. It’s the first race without a restrictor plate since the 1980’s.

Furthermore, NASCAR added a wicker to the rear spoiler in between first and final practice.

All the new rules have left teams searching for a race setup. More than half the field made runs of at least 10-laps in the first session. In final practice, 29 cars made runs of 10 laps or more.

Kurt Busch was fastest in the first practice at 202.671. Ryan Newman had the overall fastest lap in final practice at a speed of 204.157.

Who’s fastest in longer runs?
