Restarts and the first 10-15 laps are going to be wild. You\u2019re going to see a lot of three-wide racing and a lot of aggressive moves. Drivers know that will be the window of time to make up a whole lot of ground. That\u2019s not to say that you won\u2019t be able to gain anything on a long run because handling will still come into play. We are going to get 30 or 40 laps into a run and the leader will not have lapped the 18th-place car by that point. All of those guys are still going to be very much in contention throughout a run, which will make it intense when someone in the middle of the field bobbles or makes a mistake. It\u2019s going to be tough for him not to lose five spots. This package is really going to showcase the talent and presence of a driver. It will really suit aggressive drivers like myself. I think that this is a big opportunity for our GEICO Camaro ZL1 team, and we\u2019re ready to take it head on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 19px; line-height: normal; font-family: din-next-w01-light, din-next-w02-light, din-next-w10-light, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.301961); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial\">The Las Vegas 400 will be run on Sunday, March 3.
