Is the high line right up against the wall still the preferred line at Bristol Motor Speedway?
Yeah, it seems that way. The track has changed a lot, but I hope we can get a tire that helps us move off of that wall a little bit and use more of the bottom side of the track. That would be nice. I hope the new rule package helps make us two-wide at Bristol, too. - Austin Dillon
