“I couldn’t think of a better place to pull this off than in my home state of Texas,” Bradshaw proclaimed in the Friday evening press conference.
This marks the second consecutive event Bradshaw’s been on top following the first day of qualifying. He was also top qualifier in Gainesville. Those successes follow a failure to qualify in Phoenix.
“We’ve got a closer handle on the fuel system than we have ever had,” Bradshaw said. “That has been our problem for the last few races and we’ve been nipping at it and throwing more fuel at it and it keeps hauling the mail more than it was before. The Friday night run was the first one that we’ve been able to keep the rods in it.
“We believe we’ve made it around the curve and if the cloud cover comes Saturday like they say will – we ought to go even quicker.”
