Teams leave Phoenix test ready to dissect data
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series teams wrapped up a two-day organizational test at Phoenix Raceway on Wednesday, and now all that data is in the hands of laptop-wielding engineers. Let the deciphering begin. It will be six weeks before teams return to put to use the majority of what was learned here.

"On a race weekend we can gather driver feedback but at a place like this we can gather all sorts of measurements on the car," Todd Gordon, crew chief of the No. 22 Ford driven by Joey Logano reported. "We're working through all the pieces that are hard to quantify when you don't have a data system on it.
"That's the biggest part here. I've gone through brake cooling pieces because it's a braking race track. Tire usage and what's going on there. Just gather data that we can bring forward to the next race weekend and look at in our development of the package that we'll come back with."
