In an interview with FOX’s Bob Pockrass, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, and numerous other prominent NASCAR drivers shared their thoughts on the modifications made to Sonoma Raceway. One of those modifications is the addition of the inside wall in Turn 11, which replaces the tyre barrier that has long graced that section of the circuit. It will undoubtedly be different, resulting in changes to how each driver takes turns during the weekend. Everyone has an opinion, including Elliott, Hamlin, and other playoff drivers like Brad Keselowski, Christopher Bell, Alex Bowman, and William Byron. These are the drivers’ opinions regarding the modifications made to Sonoma Raceway.
Chase Elliott: “No problem. There is a wall in that location. There used to be a tyre barrier. I don’t really have any problems with it, you know. You didn’t want to hit the tyre barriers, and you don’t want to strike them. Avoiding hitting the wall is another goal. Thus, make your selection. “It’s a little bit blind, but you’re kind of getting used to it,” said Denny Hamlin. “I know how far I have to turn the wheel to avoid hitting the corner.” Thus, I believe that some will undoubtedly cut it too close and run the risk of, you know, breaking a toe link, but hopefully it won’t be us.
