It does look more aerodynamic, but i think the MS front looked better than this one. Doesnt look bad, just not as good They are more interested in the drag effect than looks im sure. Pics above are sweet, i can never get tired or looking at the #70.

^^Yea getting use to #70 starting first, gettin to point where its expected....would really like to get use to it FINISHING near that! The Racers Edge car has been running really good at the poles as well, lets hope they can follow that up with a good finish as well.

Racers Edge has a new driver (Bryce Miller) signed for 4 races. He has been getting the job done. Not sure if he will be extended or not though.

Good luck speedsource.

Its good to hear that the new nose is the 09 model and it gives them more downforce

i think Patrick thought he won. because he was doing his Victory donuts at the back end of the track.

He's having a hard time there.

Ugh, Bryce went off into the gravel, blew out front tire. He was lookin damn good too. Sux *****. #70 looking VERY good, running consistent laps at 1-2 seconds faster than the next in line.... and #69 working its way up to top 3.

Speed just had a quick word with Tremblay and he did mention that the new front end is more aerodynamic. Good luck #70!

Yea the 70 car just dominated. Cautions didnt help others out at any point, 70 just walked on them every time and just kept building distance. Great race for SpeedSource. Too bad Miller went into the dirt, he was looking damn good once again.

Great race...congrats to all the Mazda teams, especially Speedsource for the win. Can't wait to see you guys at Mid-Ohio! Bummer about the Racer's Edge car...they've been looking very strong this year, just haven't had luck go their way.
