Noah Gragson (18) and Justin Haley (24) will lead the field to green. The stages for this evening are 40-40-70. This is the first time the teams and drivers have tackled the newly configured track, formerly known as Phoenix Raceway, now known as ISM Raceway. There has been a lot of chatter about team members – drivers and spotters – calling turns and areas of the track by old names or using relative descriptions to describe them. One spotter mentioned on MRN that he called a turn by the old name which confused everyone so he started calling it the turn heading into the sun. It sounds like it could be a challenging weekend for the guys on the headsets.
